1. Best Intelligence at Scale

• OpenAI positions GPT-5.4 as its frontier model for agentic, coding, and professional workflows.
• Built for complex professional work where stronger reasoning and higher answer quality matter.

2. Configurable Reasoning + Multimodal Input

• Supports configurable reasoning effort from none to xhigh, letting teams balance speed and depth.
• Accepts both text and image inputs while producing text output.

3. Massive Context for Long-Running Work

• 1.05M token context window supports very large codebases, documents, and multi-step workflows.
• Allows up to 128 k output tokens for long-form answers and larger generations.

4. Updated Knowledge & Broad Tool Support

• Knowledge cut-off of Aug 31 2025 keeps it current for newer frameworks and business context.
• Supports tools like web search, file search, code interpreter, hosted shell, computer use, and MCP in the Responses API.

1. Intelligence & Reasoning

• Outperforms previous Claude models and competitor LLMs across major benchmarks.
• Excels in graduate-level reasoning (GPQA), knowledge tasks (MMLU), and coding (HumanEval).
• Handles nuance, humor, and complex instructions with human-like clarity.

2. Speed & Efficiency

• Runs 2x faster than Claude 3 Opus, making it ideal for real-time and high-volume workflows.
• Cost-effective pricing: $3/M input tokens and $15/M output tokens.
• Supports a 200K token context window, enabling rich, long-form reasoning.

3. Coding Capabilities

• Solves significantly more coding and bug-fix tasks (64% vs Opus's 38% in internal evaluations).
• Can autonomously write, edit, and execute code when tool use is enabled.
• Strong at translating and modernizing legacy codebases.

4. Vision Strength

• Best vision model in the Claude family, surpassing Opus on vision benchmarks.
• Excellent at interpreting charts, graphs, and imperfect images.
• Reliable text extraction from low-quality visuals for retail, logistics, finance, etc.

5. Agentic Workflows

• Highly capable for multi-step task orchestration.
• Performs well as the engine for agents requiring reasoning, planning, and tool-calling abilities.

6. Content Quality

• Produces natural, relatable writing with improved tone, style, and context awareness.
• Strong at long-form content creation and editing.

7. Safety & Reliability

• Rated ASL-2, meeting Anthropic's safety standards.
• Undergoes extensive red-teaming and external evaluation (UK AISI & US AISI).
• Not trained on user data without explicit permission.
