On Thursday, OpenAI released GPT-5.4, a new foundation model billed as “our most capable and efficient frontier model for professional work.” In addition to the standard version, GPT-5.4 is also available as a reasoning model (GPT-5.4 Thinking) or optimized for high performance (GPT-5.4 Pro).
The API version of the model will be available with context windows as large as 1 million tokens, by far the largest context window available from OpenAI.
OpenAI also emphasized improved token efficiency, saying GPT-5.4 was able to solve the same problems with significantly fewer tokens than its predecessor.
The new model comes with significantly improved benchmark results, including record scores in computer use benchmarks OSWorld-Verified and WebArena Verified. The new model also scored a record 83% on OpenAI’s GDPval test for knowledge work tasks.
GPT-5.4 also took the lead on Mercor’s APEX-Agents benchmark, designed to test professional skills in law and finance, according to a statement from Mercor CEO Brendan Foody.
“[GPT-5.4] excels at creating long-horizon deliverables such as slide decks, financial models, and legal analysis,” Foody said in the statement, “delivering top performance while running faster and at a lower cost than competitive frontier models.”
GPT-5.4 continues the company’s efforts to limit hallucinations and factual errors. OpenAI said the new model was 33% less likely to make errors in individual claims when compared to GPT 5.2, and overall responses were 18% less likely to contain errors.
