About

GPT-5.4 Thinking is a reasoning model from OpenAI focused on efficiency and control. It offers deeper web research, stronger context retention on long tasks, and about a third fewer factual errors than its predecessor, while using fewer tokens by default.

A new capability lets a user interrupt the model mid-response and redirect it without starting the request over.

It is aimed at developers and users running longer, research-heavy tasks who want the same reasoning quality with more steerability and lower token cost, and the ability to correct course without losing the work so far.

Why we picked it

GPT-5.4 made the list for the mid-response interrupt-and-redirect specifically — being able to steer a reasoning model without restarting the whole request from scratch is worth naming as a real workflow improvement, not just another efficiency number.
