See the free Radar BriefUpdated September 3, 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 estimate, 72.89 versus 56.49, but the 90% score intervals overlap. Treat that as a lead, not a settled winner.
23 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.

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.

GPT-5.4 has the higher public score estimate, 72.89 versus 56.49, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.
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 $0.008 on Gemini 3.1 Pro and $0.01 on GPT-5.4; repository review costs $0.136 and $0.17; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.2 and $0.25. Costs use the listed standard API rates.
GPT-5.4 has the larger documented context window: 1.05M, compared with 1M.
