GPT-5.4
GPT-5.4 is an OpenAI reasoning model presented in the API & Codex Build Hour as a token-efficient coding and agent model with native computer-use capabilities.
Key facts
- Type: Reasoning / coding / computer-use model
- Maker: Openai
- Codex role: Presented as a major Codex model release and one of the models behind the shift from pair programming to agent delegation [src-084].
- Context length: OpenAI describes GPT-5.4 as supporting up to a million tokens of context [src-084].
- Computer use: The session describes native computer-use-agent capabilities and a new API surface for managing browsers and computers [src-084].
- Tool search: GPT-5.4 is paired with a tool search capability for progressively discovering tool namespaces instead of loading hundreds of tools into context at once [src-084].
- Efficiency: OpenAI frames it as a token-efficient reasoning model, matching strong coding performance with lower token consumption and latency than earlier Codex models [src-084].
