GPT-5.5 Pro excels on benchmarks; Microsoft Playwright aids web agents

OpenAI's GPT-5.5 Pro has reportedly achieved significant gains on the Epoch benchmark, with its base version outperforming the previous Pro model. This suggests substantial efficiency improvements in OpenAI's latest iteration. Separately, a new open-source tool called CCmeter has been released to analyze Claude Code's session logs, helping users identify cost-saving patterns and simulate model swaps. Additionally, Microsoft has developed an MCP server for Playwright that enables AI agents to interact with web pages via the accessibility tree, bypassing the need for vision models. AI
