Analysis Summary

OpenAI: GPT-5.4 Mini sits in the Specialist tier on our leaderboard, ranked #62 of 525 published models on overall intelligence. At $0.750 input and $4.50 output per 1M tokens, it is among the most expensive on the market. It offers a generous context window for extended reasoning and code review and supports tool use, function calling, vision, and reasoning.

Editorial notes

GPT-5.4 Mini from OpenAI offers multimodal capability (text, image, file) with solid reasoning for a mid-tier model, and benefits from OpenAI's trusted business ecosystem. Pricing is reasonable and the 400K context window is adequate, though its intelligence and agentic scores place it firmly in the mid-range rather than the top tier.
