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. High reasoning performance

• Retains strong reasoning capabilities despite being a smaller, faster model.
• Suitable for tasks requiring accurate logic and structured thinking.

2. Fast and cost-efficient

• Optimized for speed, making it ideal for real-time or high-volume workloads.
• Far cheaper than GPT-5 while maintaining solid capability.

3. Great for well-defined tasks

• Excels when prompts are precise and objectives are clearly specified.
• More predictable and stable for deterministic workflows.

4. Multimodal input

• Accepts text + image as input.
• Outputs text only.

5. Tool support

• Works with Web Search, File Search, Code Interpreter, MCP.
• (Does not support Image Generation as a tool and does not support Computer Use.)
