FAQs

Is GPT-5.4 cheaper than Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental?

Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental is generally cheaper: $1.5 input / $6 output per million tokens, versus $2.5 / $15 for GPT-5.4. Actual cost depends on how many tokens your workload reads and writes.

Which has the larger context window, GPT-5.4 or Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental?

GPT-5.4 has the larger context window at 1.05M tokens, compared to 1.05M tokens for Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental. A larger window means the model can consider more text at once - useful for long contracts, codebases, or months of records.

Should I use GPT-5.4 or Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental?

It depends on the job. Compare the pricing, context window, and strengths above against your workload - and remember the choice isn't permanent. In Appaca you can build a tool on GPT-5.4, test the same tool on Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental, and switch at any time without rebuilding anything.

Can I use GPT-5.4 and Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental without writing code?
