AI model: GPT-5.4 from OpenAI

OpenAI introduced GPT-5.4 for ChatGPT, the API, and Codex

aimed at professional knowledge work. The model combines stronger reasoning, coding, and tool use, enabling it to operate computers and complete multi-step workflows autonomously. It supports up to a 1M-token context window and is more token-efficient than GPT-5.2. Benchmarks show gains in coding, research, and document-heavy tasks while reducing errors.
