Introducing GPT-5.4

Today, we’re releasing GPT‑5.4 in ChatGPT (as GPT‑5.4 Thinking), the API, and Codex. It’s our most capable and efficient frontier model for professional work. We’re also releasing GPT‑5.4 Pro in ChatGPT and the API, for people who want maximum performance on complex tasks.

GPT‑5.4 brings together the best of our recent advances in reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows into a single frontier model. It incorporates the industry-leading coding capabilities of GPT‑5.3‑Codex⁠ while improving how the model works across tools, software environments, and professional tasks involving spreadsheets, presentations, and documents. The result is a model that gets complex real work done accurately, effectively, and efficiently—delivering what you asked for with less back and forth.

In ChatGPT, GPT‑5.4 Thinking can now provide an upfront plan of its thinking, so you can adjust course mid-response while it’s working, and arrive at a final output that’s more closely aligned with what you need without additional turns. GPT‑5.4 Thinking also improves deep web research, particularly for highly specific queries, while better maintaining context for questions that require longer thinking. Together, these improvements mean higher-quality answers that arrive faster and stay relevant to the task at hand.

In Codex and the API, GPT‑5.4 is the first general-purpose model we’ve released with native, state-of-the-art computer-use capabilities, enabling agents to operate computers and carry out complex workflows across applications. It supports up to 1M tokens of context, allowing agents to plan, execute, and verify tasks across long horizons. GPT‑5.4 also improves how models work across large ecosystems of tools and connectors with tool search, helping agents find and use the right tools more efficiently without sacrificing intelligence. Finally, GPT‑5.4 is our most token efficient reasoning model yet, using significantly fewer tokens to solve problems when compared to GPT‑5.2—translating to reduced token usage and faster speeds.

Together with advances in general reasoning, coding, and professional knowledge work, GPT‑5.4 enables more reliable agents, faster developer workflows, and higher-quality outputs across ChatGPT, the API, and Codex.

Building on GPT‑5.2’s general reasoning capabilities, GPT‑5.4 delivers even more consistent and polished results on real-world tasks that matter to professionals.

On GDPval⁠, which tests agents’ abilities to produce well-specified knowledge work across 44 occupations, GPT‑5.4 achieves a new state of the art, matching or exceeding industry professionals in 83.0% of comparisons, compared to 70.9% for GPT‑5.2.

We put a particular focus on improving GPT‑5.4’s ability to create and edit spreadsheets, presentations, and documents. On an internal benchmark of spreadsheet modeling tasks that a junior investment banking analyst might do, GPT‑5.4 achieves a mean score of 87.3%, compared to 68.4% for GPT‑5.2. On a set of presentation evaluation prompts, human raters preferred presentations from GPT‑5.4 68.0% of the time over those from GPT‑5.2 due to stronger aesthetics, greater visual variety, and more effective use of image generation.

You can try these capabilities in ChatGPT using GPT‑5.4 Thinking or Pro. If you’re an Enterprise customer, we recommend using our newly released ChatGPT for Excel add-in⁠(opens in a new window), which was also launched today. We've also updated our spreadsheet⁠(opens in a new window) and presentation skills⁠(opens in a new window) available in Codex and the API.

To make GPT‑5.4 better at real-world work, we continued our progress at driving down hallucinations and errors. GPT‑5.4 is our most factual model yet: on a set of de-identified prompts where users flagged factual errors, GPT‑5.4’s individual claims are 33% less likely to be false and its full responses are 18% less likely to contain any errors, relative to GPT‑5.2.

GPT‑5.4 is our first general-purpose model with native computer-use capabilities and marks a major step forward for developers and agents alike. It’s the best model currently available for developers building agents that complete real tasks across websites and software systems.

We’ve designed GPT‑5.4 to be performant across a wide range of computer-use workloads. It is excellent at writing code to operate computers via libraries like Playwright, as well as issuing mouse and keyboard commands in response to screenshots. Its behavior is steerable via developer messages, meaning that developers can adjust behavior to suit particular use cases. Developers can even configure the model’s safety behavior to suit different levels of risk tolerance by specifying custom confirmation policies.

The model’s performance and flexibility are reflected across benchmarks that test computer use across different settings. On OSWorld-Verified, which measures a model’s ability to navigate a desktop environment through screenshots and keyboard/mouse actions, GPT‑5.4 achieves a state-of-the-art 75.0% success rate, far exceeding GPT‑5.2’s 47.3%, and surpassing human performance at 72.4%.¹

On WebArena-Verified, which tests browser use, GPT‑5.4 achieves a leading 67.3% success rate when using both DOM- and screenshot-driven interaction, compared to GPT‑5.2’s 65.4%. On Online-Mind2Web, which also tests browser use, GPT‑5.4 achieves a 92.8% success rate using screenshot-based observations alone, improving over ChatGPT Atlas’s Agent Mode, which achieves a success rate of 70.9%.

GPT‑5.4’s improved computer use is built on the model’s improved general visual perception capabilities. On MMMU-Pro, a test of a model’s visual understanding and reasoning, GPT‑5.4 achieves an 81.2% success rate without tool use, an improvement over GPT‑5.2’s 79.5%. Improved visual perception also translates into better document parsing capabilities. On OmniDocBench, GPT‑5.4 without reasoning effort achieves an average error (measured by normalized edit distance between model prediction and ground truth) of 0.109, improved from GPT‑5.2’s 0.140.

We’re also improving visual understanding for dense, high-resolution images where full fidelity matters. Starting with GPT‑5.4, we’re introducing an original image input detail⁠(opens in a new window) level which supports full-fidelity perception up to 10.24M total pixels or 6000-pixel maximum dimension, whichever is lower; the high image input detail level now supports up to 2.56M total pixels or a 2048-pixel maximum dimension. In early testing with API users, we observed strong gains in localization ability, image understanding, and click accuracy when using original or high detail.

In the API, developers can access these capabilities using the updated computer tool. Please see our updated documentation⁠(opens in a new window) for recommended best practices.

GPT‑5.4 combines the coding strengths of GPT‑5.3‑Codex with leading knowledge work and computer-use capabilities, which matter most on longer-running tasks where the model can use tools, iterate, and push work further with less manual intervention. It matches or outperforms GPT‑5.3‑Codex on SWE-Bench Pro while being lower latency across reasoning efforts.

When toggled on, /fast mode in Codex delivers up to 1.5x faster token velocity with GPT‑5.4. It’s the same model and the same intelligence, just faster. That means users can move through coding tasks, iteration, and debugging while staying in flow. Developers can access GPT‑5.4 at the same fast speeds via the API by using priority processing⁠(opens in a new window).

In evaluation and internal testing we found that GPT‑5.4 excels at complex frontend tasks, with noticeably more aesthetic and more functional results than any models we’ve launched previously.

As a demonstration of the model’s improved computer-use and coding capabilities working in tandem, we’re also releasing an experimental Codex skill called “Playwright (Interactive)⁠(opens in a new window)”. This allows Codex to visually debug web and Electron apps; it can even be used to test an app it’s building, as it’s building it.
