OpenAI launches GPT-5.4 mini and nano, aimed at agents, coding, and multi-modal workflows; GPT-5.4 mini approaches GPT-5.4-level pass rates at a much lower cost
ZDNET's key takeaways — GPT-5.4 mini runs more than twice as fast as GPT-5 mini. — New models aim at agents, coding, and multi-modal workflows.

We're introducing GPT-5.4 mini and nano, our most capable small models yet. GPT-5.4 mini is more than 2x faster than GPT-5 mini. Optimized for coding, computer use, multimodal understanding, and subagents. For lighter-weight tasks, GPT-5.4 nano is our smallest and cheapest [image…

GPT-5.4-mini is a wildly capable model and gives you ~3.3x more usage on Codex tasks compared to GPT-5.4. It's excellent for spinning up new subagents!

We evalled @OpenAI GPT-5.4 mini and nano on APEX-Agents. With xhigh reasoning, mini scores 24.5% Pass@1. It outperforms other lightweight models like Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite (12.8%) as well as midweight models like Sonnet 4.6 (23.7% Pass@1) - but the token $ is just ¼. [image]

GPT-5.4 mini is available today in the API, Codex, and ChatGPT. In the API, it has a 400k context window. In Codex, it uses only 30% of the GPT-5.4 quota, letting you handle simpler coding tasks for about one-third of the cost. GPT-5.4 nano is only available in the API.

Significant price increases from GPT-5 models GPT-5.4 mini — 0.25 → 0.75 (3x) GPT-5.4 nano — 0.05 → 0.20 (4x) They should really be compared to the previous generation's frontier models, and I believe the new prices are fair. The age of massively subsidized tokens is ending...

GPT-5.4 mini matters for subagents because it changes what feels worth handing off. The parent thread should hold the architecture, plan, and progress narrative. Fast subagents can explore the repo, check hypotheses, and preserve the parent thread's limited attention. [video]
