Key claims and evidence
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
- OpenAI says /fast mode delivers up to 1.5× faster performance across supported models, including GPT-5.4, describing it as the same model and intelligence “just faster.” And it describes releasing an experimental Codex…
- On MMMU-Pro, GPT-5.4 reaches 81.2% success without tool use, compared with 79.5% for GPT-5.2, and OpenAI says it achieves that result using a fraction of the “thinking tokens.” On OmniDocBench, GPT-5.4’s average error i…
- ChatGPT Free users will also get a taste of GPT-5.4, but only when their queries are auto-routed to the model, according to an OpenAI spokesperson.
- Pricing and availabilityIn the API, OpenAI says GPT-5.4 Thinking is available as gpt-5.4 and GPT-5.4 Pro as gpt-5.4-pro.
