OpenAI GPT-5.5 tops custom Doom benchmark with advanced strategies

A developer benchmarked four OpenAI GPT models, including GPT 5.5, GPT 5.4, GPT 5.4 mini, and GPT 5.3 Codex Spark, in a custom-built Doom environment. GPT 5.5 emerged as the top performer, achieving a 67% score by effectively collecting health packs, strategizing fights, and utilizing resources. The benchmark revealed that models learned advanced tactics such as kiting, flanking, and predicting enemy movements, with GPT 5.3 Codex Spark submitting the most plans, though many were invalid. AI
