Is GPT-5.4 Worth It?

This GPT-5.4 model is quite a significant upgrade. I've been seeing a lot of videos saying that this is like the most insane, best model ever. This is their first model that has native computer use capabilities. They improved their visual perception capabilities. Thinking is stronger at answering questions that require pulling together information from many sources on the web. You can see 5.4 on the left, 5.2 on the right here. And this spreadsheet looks a little bit more in depth, a little bit better designed. We've got an example here of it actually using Gmail on somebody's behalf. You can see the little red circle on the sent box there, and it's actually going and starring the emails and adding labels to the emails on the user's behalf. Another demo here of bulk data entry. There's a whole bunch of JSON here on the right, and it's entering it all into the form on the left, it appears. They've also got this RPG game example here. Overall, to me, this model feels like it was made more for the agents than anything else. Now it is better at coding. If you want to use this new ChatGPT model, it is available in Plus, Team, and Pro plans. It's going to replace the GPT-5.2 Thinking model. If I'm being totally honest here, I'll say the things that I feel like a lot of people probably aren't saying. For most people's day-to-day use, you're probably not going to notice much of a difference. The improvements we're seeing now are more improvements that coders are going to notice, researchers are going to notice, data scientists are going to notice. But like the everyday ChatGPT user, it's going to be kind of marginal.
