Introducing GPT-5.4

OpenAI released a new large‑language model called GPT-5.4, describing it as the company’s most capable frontier model for professional work. The model is engineered for tasks such as coding, data analysis, and the creation of presentations with stronger, more varied aesthetics. OpenAI also notes that GPT-5.4 makes more effective use of its image‑generation tools, enhancing visual outputs.

Native Computer‑Use Capabilities

GPT-5.4 is the first OpenAI model built with native computer‑use capabilities. This allows the system to issue mouse and keyboard commands more accurately and to navigate desktop environments better than its predecessor, GPT-5.2. The model can operate across several applications simultaneously, a step forward for multi‑app workflows.

ChatGPT Integration and User Interaction

Within ChatGPT, GPT-5.4 will be the default model for the new "Thinking mode." In this mode, the system first outlines how it intends to address a request, giving users the chance to adjust the plan before the response is generated. OpenAI also highlights improved web‑research abilities, especially for "highly specific" queries, promising higher‑quality answers that arrive faster and stay relevant to the task at hand.

Accuracy and Factuality

OpenAI claims GPT-5.4 is its most factual model yet, stating it is 18 percent less likely to produce erroneous responses compared with GPT-5.2. The company frames this improvement as part of a broader effort to deliver more reliable AI assistance.

Availability, Pricing, and Target Audience

GPT-5.4 will be accessible in ChatGPT when users select Thinking mode and can also be chosen as "GPT-5.4 Pro" from the model picker. The model is not offered to Free, Go, or Plus subscribers; instead, it is aimed at enterprise customers and developers who rely on OpenAI’s Codex application. For API users, GPT-5.4 is described as the most token‑efficient reasoning model to date, though token costs have risen to $2.50 per million input tokens, up from $1.75 for GPT-5.2.

Strategic Shift Toward Professional Productivity

The launch reflects OpenAI’s growing focus on professional productivity tools. The shift follows Microsoft’s decision last September to add Anthropic’s models to Copilot 365 after finding that Claude performed well on spreadsheet and presentation tasks. Reporting suggests OpenAI generates about $25 billion in annualized revenue but remains far from profitability, with $1.4 trillion in data‑center commitments and continued reliance on investor funding. By emphasizing productivity‑oriented features, OpenAI appears to be seeking a sustainable business model within the enterprise space.
