Start free briefUpdated August 18, 2026. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty. They are not guarantees for a specific workload.
Decision reading
GPT-5.4 has the higher public score, 73.36 versus 47.56, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap.
3 results are shared. Category rows based on different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.
Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.
Prompts that approach the documented context limit
GPT-5.4
GPT-5.4 has the larger documented context window.
Confidence: documented
1K fresh input + 500 output tokens
Command A+
Command A+ has the lower estimated token cost for this stated workload. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
Confidence: listed-rates
50K fresh input + 3K output tokens
Command A+
Command A+ has the lower estimated token cost for this stated workload. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
Confidence: listed-rates
Code generation, repair, and software-engineering tasks

No shared weighted benchmark basis supports a winner.

Tool use, computer use, and multi-step task completion
Not enough matched evidence
No shared weighted benchmark basis supports a winner.
Confidence: limited
200K cached + 20K fresh input + 10K output tokens
Not enough matched evidence
The page does not recommend a cost winner because at least one model cannot fit the stated workload in one request. Command A+ does not fit this workload in one request. Command A+ has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.
Confidence: rate-fallback
Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
1 category uses different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.
Each row states whether both averages use the same weighted benchmark set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner in this template.

Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.
1K fresh input + 500 output tokens
Command A+ has the lower modeled cost
Costs use the listed standard API rates.
50K fresh input + 3K output tokens
Command A+ has the lower modeled cost
Costs use the listed standard API rates.
200K cached + 20K fresh input + 10K output tokens
Command A+ does not fit this workload in one request. Command A+ has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.
Sourced differences are shown directly. Missing facts stay explicit instead of being inferred from a model name or family.
Maximum documented context; output-token limits may be lower.

GPT-5.4 has the higher public score, 73.36 versus 47.56, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap. That is the clearest overall quality signal in the current public data.
The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted coding basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a coding winner.
The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted agentic tasks basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a agentic tasks winner.
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.0075 on Command A+ and $0.01 on GPT-5.4; repository review costs $0.155 and $0.17; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.65 and $0.25. Command A+ does not fit this workload in one request. Command A+ has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.
GPT-5.4 has the larger documented context window: 1.05M, compared with 128K.
