CNET OpenAI has launched GPT-5.4 mini and nano, the smallest and quickest variants of its GPT-5.4 family.

The nano model targets even lighter workloads such as classification and data extraction. Both models are available through OpenAI’s API, with the mini model also integrated into Codex and the ChatGPT "Thinking" feature, positioning OpenAI against rivals like Anthropic’s Claude Code.
