OpenAI integration in LlamaIndex adds GPT-5.5 support

The v0.14.22 release updates `llama-index-llms-openai` to support `gpt-5.5` and `gpt-5.5-2026-04-23`, extending the default OpenAI model lineup available to LlamaIndex users.

What is Different

Before

Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.

Now

Added GPT-5.5 model entries and routing support in the `llama-index-llms-openai` package so applications can select and call the new OpenAI model variants via existing integration paths without custom adapter changes.

Why Track This

Why It Matters

Developers using LlamaIndex with OpenAI can now run newer GPT-5.5 models through the same llms-openai code path, so they can upgrade model quality/features without rewriting their integration, while rollout teams should recheck cost, latency, and output-format behavior in real traffic to catch any compatibility or budget regressions. Continued monitoring should focus on prompt reliability, streaming response stability, and any changes in rate-limit or tool-call semantics specific to the new model versions.

What To Watch Next

  • Watch whether llama-index-llms-openai becomes a repeated pattern.
  • Track follow-up changes around Observability and Tracing.
  • Compare future signals against this evidence trail.
  • Re-check risk flags: prompt_and_output_format_regressions, rate_limit_or_quota_changes.
