@AI Evy why is 5.5 gpt and 5.4 gpt now the top suggested llms? and what benefits are there to move from earlier recommended llms

Thanks for tagging me @abdullah. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer Based on the available sources, I can confirm that GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.4 models are among the available LLM options in Retell AI [(1) ]() [(2) ]() . The available models include gpt-5, gpt-5-mini, gpt-5-nano, gpt-5.1, gpt-5.2, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.4-nano, and gpt-5.5 . However, I don't have specific information in the sources about why GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.4 are now the top suggested LLMs or what specific benefits they offer compared to earlier recommended models like GPT-4.1. What I can tell you about LLM selection in general: Temperature settings can significantly impact your agent's behavior [(3) ]() . Lower temperatures (0.0-0.3) provide highly consistent, deterministic responses best for function calling and data collection, while higher temperatures (0.4-0.7) offer balanced consistency and variation suitable for general customer service . The sources indicate that some older models have been deprecated. For instance, Claude 3.7 Sonnet was deprecated by Claude, and agents using deprecated models are moved to the GPT-4.1 model [(4) ]() . Additionally, there have been reports that GPT-5 had hallucination issues when it was new, with recommendations to stick with GPT-4.1 until it stabilized [(5) ]() . For specific details about the benefits of GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.4 compared to earlier models, I'd recommend checking the Retell AI dashboard or reaching out to support for the most current information about model performance and recommendations.
