Key claims in source A
- Multiple developers told The Information, for instance, that the new model had issues with seamlessly knowing when to “think harder” when given tougher prompts — a pain point power users have already been noticing.
- From the “power users” furious that they lost their BFF GPT-4o to those who think the new model’s responses are shorter and less precise, criticisms of GPT-5 abound on social media — and with only paid subscribers being…
- Large Languishing Model And it’s not just the tech media that noticed.
- Despite knowing that GPT-5 wasn’t going to live up to the hype, the company persisted in overblowing it.
Key claims in source B
- [GPT-5.4] excels at creating long-horizon deliverables such as slide decks, financial models, and legal analysis,” Foody said in the statement, “delivering top performance while running faster and at a lower cost than c…
- GPT-5.4 also took the lead on Mercor’s APEX-Agents benchmark, designed to test professional skills in law and finance, according to a statement from Mercor CEO Brendan Foody.
- OpenAI said the new model was 33% less likely to make errors in individual claims when compared to GPT 5.2, and overall responses were 18% less likely to contain errors.
- The API version of the model will be available with context windows as large as 1 million tokens, by far the largest context window available from OpenAI.

Bias score signal
Bias signal combines framing pressure, emotional wording, selective emphasis, and one-sided narrative markers.
Emotionality signal
Emotionality rises when evidence contains emotionally loaded wording and evaluative labels.
One-sidedness signal
One-sidedness rises when one frame dominates and alternative interpretations are weakly represented.
Evidence strength signal
Evidence strength rises with concrete claims, attributed statements, and verifiable contextual support.
