Pick GPT-5.4 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Claude Opus 4.7 only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 20 shared benchmark results across 7 evidence categories; 1 of 8 categories currently have scoreable aggregates for both models. Treat the verdict as directional until coverage is more balanced.

Why this result

GPT-5.4 is clearly ahead on the provisional aggregate, 86 to 69. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-5.4's sharpest advantage is in mathematics, where it averages 42.5 against 38.6. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is FrontierMath v2 (Tier 4), 22.917% to 27.100%.

Claude Opus 4.7 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $5.00 input / $25.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $2.50 input / $15.00 output per 1M tokens for GPT-5.4. GPT-5.4 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Claude Opus 4.7 is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. GPT-5.4 gives you the larger context window at 1.05M, compared with 1M for Claude Opus 4.7.
