Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- Individual claims are 33 percent less likely to be incorrect, and complete answers contain 18 percent fewer errors compared to GPT-5.2.
- GPT-5.2 Thinking will remain available as a Legacy Model for three months, after which it will be phased out on June 5.
- GPT-5.4 follows very closely on the heels of GPT-5.3 Instant, but mainly takes over the tasks of the more sizable GPT-5.2, particularly for tasks that require reasoning, are intended for coding, or control a computer.
- A Pro version offers “maximum performance on complex tasks” at a higher price.
Key claims in source B
- Daniel Swiecki of Walleye Capital said GPT-5.4 “improved accuracy by 30 percentage points” on internal finance and Excel evaluations, a VentureBeat noted.
- Agentic Performance: The model achieves a 75.0% success rate on OSWorld-Verified, surpassing the reported human performance baseline of 72.4% and up from 47.3% for GPT-5.2.
- the model achieves a 75.0% success rate on OSWorld-Verified, up from 47.3% for GPT-5.2 and above the 72.4% reported human performance baseline.
- On web navigation benchmarks, OpenAI said the model reaches 67.3% on the WebArena-Verified benchmark, with 92.8% on Online-Mind2Web using screenshot-based observations.
