OpenAI released GPT-5.4 on 5 March across ChatGPT, the API and Codex, including GPT-5.4 Thinking in ChatGPT.
The company describes the model as its most capable and efficient frontier model for professional work, coding and agentic workflows, with a GPT-5.4 Pro option for complex tasks.
The launch sits inside a broader product push around Codex, Frontier and enterprise agents, where model performance is paired with tools for work execution.

Why It Matters
Model releases still shape the market, but the more important pattern is how models are packaged into workflows. GPT-5.4 matters because OpenAI is presenting frontier capability as part of a work stack spanning ChatGPT, API and Codex.
