GPT-5.5 is here, but the real profit may not come from it directly

When OpenAI released GPT-5.5, many people's first reaction was: model upgrade = a new round of wealth secrets.
But history often "slaps in the face."
Back in the internet boom, the most profitable were not those writing protocols, but those building applications; in the mobile internet era, it wasn't the most who made operating systems, but super apps.
What is a model like? Like electricity.
You wouldn't invest in "electric current" itself, but in factories that use electricity.
The upgrade of GPT-5.5 essentially boils down to three things:
Smarter, cheaper, more capable of working.
What does these three points together mean? — Explosive application growth.
The real opportunity often appears in the "last mile":
* Who integrates AI into real-world scenarios
* Who turns complex capabilities into simple products
* Who makes users unable to live without it
Models are the foundation, but the ones making money are the tenants upstairs.
So the question isn't "Is GPT-5.5 powerful,"
but — who used it to make money. #OpenAI发布GPT-5.5
