I wonder what's the difference between this and GPT 5.5 thinking with zero thinking effort? Interesting product decision to have different models.

Good question. I find that GPT-5.5 thinking is very good at not thinking for simple questions, so much so that I've never had the need to use the instant model even for quick Q&A.

I'm assuming the instant model, then, is an entirely different smaller model mainly serving the free tier of ChatGPT.
