GPT-5.4 Pro vs GPT-5.4

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across knowledge, coding, math, and reasoning.

Sibling matchup inside the GPT-5.4 family.

GPT-5.4 Pro and GPT-5.4 sit in the same GPT-5.4 family. This page is less about two unrelated model lineages and more about how the siblings trade off on benchmark shape, token costs, and practical limits like context window.

GPT-5.4 Pro finishes one point ahead overall, 94 to 93. That is enough to call, but not enough to treat as a blowout. This matchup comes down to a few meaningful edges rather than one model dominating the board.

GPT-5.4 Pro's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 89 against 87.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HLE, 50 to 48.

GPT-5.4 Pro is also the more expensive model on tokens at $30.00 input / $180.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $2.50 input / $15.00 output per 1M tokens for GPT-5.4. That is roughly 12.0x on output cost alone.

Quick Verdict

GPT-5.4 Pro makes more sense if coding is the priority, while GPT-5.4 is the cleaner fit if you want the cheaper token bill.
