| Heavy usage | 100,000 | $3,250 | $6,325 | GPT-5.4 -$3,075 |
Which should you use?
For the typical chat-shape request (~1k input, 2k output), GPT-5.4 comes out 95% cheaper. If you're picking one as the default, that's usually the right choice on cost alone.
GPT-5.4 wins on both sides of the bill - cheaper input and cheaper output. If the quality gap is in your favour, there's no cost argument for the other side.
Context window differs: GPT-5.4 holds 1.1M of input vs 1M on the other side. If you regularly push past the smaller ceiling, the comparison ends there.
