How GPT-5.4 and o1-pro differ
What the numbers mean in practice when choosing between GPT-5.4 and o1-pro.
-
GPT-5.4 is 98% cheaper on input tokens ($2.5 vs $150 per million), which adds up quickly in document-heavy workloads.
-
GPT-5.4 is 98% cheaper on output tokens ($15 vs $600 per million) - the bigger factor for tools that generate long documents.
-
GPT-5.4's 1.05M tokens context window is roughly 5.3x larger than o1-pro's 200K tokens, so it can work across bigger codebases, contracts, or archives in one pass.
Strengths side by side
Where each model shines, according to benchmarks and provider positioning.
GPT-5.4
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.
o1-pro
1. Maximum-compute o-series model
- Uses significantly more compute per query compared to o1.
- Produces deeper, more reliable reasoning chains.
- Best suited for high-stakes tasks that need correctness over speed.
2. Trained with reinforcement learning for deliberate thinking
- Explicit "think-before-answer" architecture.
- Excels at complex reasoning requiring multi-step analysis.
3. Very strong at math, science, coding, and technical proofs
- Handles long derivations, algorithm design, and difficult logic problems.
- Produces structured and explainable reasoning trails.
4. Great for multi-turn reasoning workflows
- Responses API optimized: can think over multiple internal turns before responding.
- Ideal for agentic reasoning pipelines.
5. Large context window
- 200,000-token context for large documents, multi-file review, and long reasoning traces.
6. Multimodal input (text + image)
- Can analyze images for mathematical diagrams, charts, handwritten content, UI layouts, etc.
- Output is text only.
7. Consistency, reliability, and depth
- Designed for situations where accuracy matters more than latency or cost.
- Strong error-checking and self-correction abilities.

FAQs
GPT-5.4 is generally cheaper: $2.5 input / $15 output per million tokens, versus $150 / $600 for o1-pro. Actual cost depends on how many tokens your workload reads and writes.
GPT-5.4 has the larger context window at 1.05M tokens, compared to 200K tokens for o1-pro. A larger window means the model can consider more text at once - useful for long contracts, codebases, or months of records.
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 o1-pro, and switch at any time without rebuilding anything.
