Summary

LlamaIndex benchmarked GPT-5.6 on document understanding and found no improvement over GPT-5.5; the model performs well on text and tables but struggles with charts and layout.

We comprehensively benchmarked GPT-5.6 on document understanding. At a high-level there's no change between GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.5 in terms of performance over tables, text, charts, layout, and more. The GPT-class of models typically does quite well over table understanding, but they struggle with transcribing complex text layouts and formatting, with transcribing charts, and with deriving bounding boxes over source elements.

We comprehensively benchmarked GPT-5.6 on document understanding.

At a high-level there’s no change between GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.5 in terms of performance over tables, text, charts, layout, and more. The GPT-class of models typically does quite well over table understanding, but they struggle with transcribing complex text layouts and formatting, with transcribing charts, and with deriving bounding boxes over source elements.
