Quick verdicts

Short takeaways — validate with your own workloads.

  • Long document processing

    Use GPT-5.4. Its 1050K context fits entire documents without chunking (vs 100K).

  • RAG / high-volume retrieval

    Use GPT-5.4. Input tokens are 68% cheaper — critical when sending large retrieved contexts.

  • Long output (reports, code files)

    Use GPT-5.4. Its 128K max output lets you generate complete artifacts in one request.
