    Article: 5 min

    An analysis of Codex token_count metadata suggests that the gpt-5.5 model disproportionately produces responses at exactly 516 reasoning_output_tokens, which may indicate a fixed-token clustering anomaly and potentially contribute to degraded performance on complex tasks.

    This anomaly could lead to misinterpretation or underperformance in AI models used for complex tasks requiring nuanced reasoning, potentially affecting decision-making processes across industries.
    • gpt-5.5 responses cluster at 516 reasoning_output_tokens
    • Additional spikes around 1034 and 1552 tokens
    • Lower overall reasoning-token intensity
    • Related to issue #29353
