Use case
GPT-5.5 tool calling
tool calling notes for gpt-5.5: the rate card, a worked volume, and when to send this ID. A sample of 1 million input tokens plus 200 thousand output tokens is about $2.20 on corouter (input $1.00, output $1.20).
Tool definitions count as input
Tool JSON schemas count toward input tokens. Input for gpt-5.5 is $1.00. More tools and longer schemas raise the input bill. The output rate does not change.
GPT-5.5 keeps the high GPT-5.6 Sol list rate and the Code tag. Send gpt-5.5 when a workload was already qualified on that exact ID.
Set it next to a lower output rate
GPT-5.5 (gpt-5.5) lists at $5.00 input and $30.00 output per million tokens. corouter bills $1.00 input and $6.00 output. Context is 1.1M.
A sample of 1 million input tokens plus 200 thousand output tokens is about $2.20 on corouter (input $1.00, output $1.20).
