Can you really believe things that the model says? (A lot of prior model api pages say knowledge cutoffs of June 2024, maybe the model picks that up?)
Enterprise user here and still seeing only 5.4. Yesterday's announcement said that it will take a few hours to roll out to everybody. OpenAI needs better GTM to set the right expectations.
Is anyone here actually using pro models through the API? I'd be very curious what the use-case is.
Yes. High value work where cost (mostly) doesn't matter. For example, if I need to look over a legal doc for possible mistakes (part of a workflow i have), it doesn't matter (in my case) whether it costs $0.01 or $10.00, since it's a somewhat infrequent event. So i'll pay $9.99 more, even if the model is only slightly better.

I feel like I haven’t had to prod a model to actually do what I told it to in awhile so that was a shock. I guess that it does use fewer tokens that way, just annoying when I’m paying for the “cutting edge” model to have it be lazy on me like that.
This is in Cursor the model popped up and so I tried it out from the model selector.

I don't know why this keeps coming up. This has always been the least reliable way to know the cutoff date (and indeed, it may well have been trained on sites with comments like these!) Just ask it about an event that happened shortly before Dec 1, 2025. Sporting event, preferably.
could be they do it intentionally to encourage more tool calls/searches or for tuning reasons

can u test it on say who won the 2024 US election
A better test is something like "what is the latest version of NumPy?"

The proper way to figure out the real cutoff date is to ask the model about things that did not exist or did not happen before the date in question.
A few quick tests suggest 5.5's general knowledge cutoff is still around early 2025.
