OpenAI launches GPT-5.4 mini and nano for Free and Go tiers

Being about two times faster than the previous GPT-5-mini, the models offer solid coding performance for these tiers for the first time.

GPT-5.4-mini can be accessed today by choosing «Thinking» from the model picker on the Free and Pro tiers.

The model is stronger than 5-mini on reasoning, multimodal understanding, tool use and subagents, OpenAI says.

It is also available in Codex, where it uses only 30% of tokens for the same task compared to 5.4 proper — and is usable for workloads where latency and speed are important.

Also introduced today is GPT-5.4-nano, which is for the times when speed and cost matter most. It costs only $0.20/$1.25 per 1M tokens, and is handy for mass classification, ranking, coding subagents and compaction.

Nano doesn’t support web search or computer use, and is only available in the API.
