Decision facts
- GPT-5.4 Nano is #80; Inkling Small is #70 on the same current language board.
- Index scores are 50.8 for GPT-5.4 Nano and 52.7 for Inkling Small. Their published uncertainty intervals overlap, so the rank difference alone does not establish a reliable capability advantage for your workload.
- Both positions use Measured evidence.
- Listed output price per 1M tokens is $1.25 for GPT-5.4 Nano and $1.20 for Inkling Small. For 1,000 requests with 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each (2M input + 0.5M output), the listed-rate estimate is $1.02 for GPT-5.4 Nano versus $1.50 for Inkling Small. GPT-5.4 Nano costs 31.7% less in this scenario. This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the selected endpoint before budgeting.
- Published context is 400,000 tokens for GPT-5.4 Nano and 1,048,576 for Inkling Small.
- Weight access differs: GPT-5.4 Nano is none; Inkling Small is open.
- ModelCap currently lists 2 providers for GPT-5.4 Nano and 3 for Inkling Small.
These are separate published fields, not a synthetic winner. ModelCap does not collapse price, access, context, and capability evidence into a hidden recommendation score.
