User explores confidence-based routing between GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user is exploring the use of different versions of OpenAI's GPT models for product classification. They found that GPT-5.6 performed better than GPT-5.5 on a multi-layer taxonomy task. The user is considering implementing a confidence-based routing system where GPT-5.5 handles most classifications, escalating to GPT-5.6 only when confidence is low, but is questioning the reliability of the models' self-reported confidence.
