TechCrunch OpenAI announced the release of GPT-5.4, its newest foundation model designed for professional workloads. The model is offered in three versions—a standard release, a high‑performance Pro edition, and a reasoning‑focused Thinking edition.

Benchmark scores show record performance across computer‑use and knowledge‑work tests, while safety updates cut hallucinations by roughly one‑third. A new tool‑calling architecture called Tool Search reduces token overhead when accessing many tools, and a safety evaluation demonstrates lower risk of deceptive chain‑of‑thought behavior in the Thinking version.
