What is GPT-5.4?
GPT-5.4 is a unifying frontier release that merges improvements from recent reasoning and coding lines (including the GPT-5.3-Codex work) into a single model targeted at professional knowledge work. It is positioned as a โThinkingโ model for deeper, steerable reasoning and a โProโ variant for the highest performance/throughput customers. Key themes of the release are: (1) longer context and document-scale understanding, (2) improved tool and โcomputer useโ capabilities (controlling apps, spreadsheet/presentation editing), and (3) reduced factual errors and stronger multi-step planning.
Main features of GPT-5.4
- Huge long-context capability (1M+ tokens experimental): GPT-5.4 supports experimental 1.05M token sessions (with pricing/limits) enabling whole-book / whole-codebase reasoning and multi-document synthesis. For general availability the standard window remains โ272K tokens.
- Improved multi-step tool use & native โcomputer useโ: better desktop/browser control for agentic workflows (keyboard/mouse via a computer-use interface), web search that persists across rounds, and a new Tool Search mechanism to find connectors/tools efficiently. OpenAI reports state-of-the-art success on multiple computer-use and web-agent benchmarks.
- Spreadsheet, document, and presentation generation/editing: specific tuning for office workflows; internal benchmarks show major gains on spreadsheet modelling and presentation quality. OpenAI also launched a ChatGPT for Excel add-in alongside the release.
- Steerability & reasoning modes: โThinkingโ mode produces an explicit plan/preamble for long tasks and supports mid-response steering (adjusting instructions during generation). Reasoning effort levels let users trade latency for deeper chain-of-thought reasoning.
- Enhanced multimodal understanding: better interpretation of high-resolution images and charts (image input), used for document understanding and presentations.
- Safety posture: OpenAI treats GPT-5.4 as a high-cyber-capability model and deploys enhanced safeguards similar to the GPT-5.3-Codex mitigations.

GPT-5.4 vs Comparable Models
| Model | Context Window | Key Strength |
|---|---|---|
| GPT-5.4-2026-03-05 | 1,050,000 tokens | Frontier reasoning + agent workflows |
| GPT-5.3 Instant | Smaller | Faster everyday tasks |
| Claude Opus / Sonnet | ~200k tokens | Long-form reasoning |
| Gemini 3 Pro | ~1M tokens | Multimodal reasoning |
Key difference: GPT-5.4 focuses heavily onย professional productivity workflows and agent capabilities, particularly when integrated with external tools.
Representative production use cases
- Enterprise document & compliance workflows: processing long contracts, extracting obligations, and drafting commentaries across multi-document corpora (benefits from the 272Kโ1M context options for single-session synthesis).
- Spreadsheet automation & financial modelling: generating formulas, building multi-sheet models from plain-English spec, reconciling inputs โ OpenAI reports large gains on junior investment-banking style tasks.
- Agentic automation & โcomputer useโ: automated browser / desktop workflows (installation, QA, tool orchestration) and multi-step tool chains (Zapier integrations cited as a use partner).
- Software engineering & code maintenance: code generation, refactorings, and terminal/CLI agent tasks (Terminal-Bench gains reported). For large codebases, the long context window helps but must be validated on task heuristics.
- Knowledge worker augmentation: research synthesis (BrowseComp improvements), slide generation and visual design for presentations.
