These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.

BES evidence selected · measured input only

The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.

GPT-5.4 Mini: common questions

How does GPT-5.4 Mini rank among AI models?

GPT-5.4 Mini holds ModelCap Index position #46 of 352 ranked language models as of 6 November 2026, with an Index score of 69.6 (interval 64.9–74.3); evidence: measured. The Index combines public benchmark boards with published uncertainty; the methodology page explains the weighting.

How much does GPT-5.4 Mini cost per 1M tokens?

GPT-5.4 Mini is listed at $0.75 per 1M input tokens and $4.50 per 1M output tokens as of 6 November 2026; the lowest output price among 2 providers is $2.25 on OpenAI. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $3.75 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.

What is the context window of GPT-5.4 Mini?

GPT-5.4 Mini has a published context window of 400K tokens (400,000). The snapshot lists a 128,000 token catalogue-declared route output cap. OpenRouter catalogue or provider-endpoint declaration. Limits can vary by provider and prompt length; a model-wide maximum has not been independently verified. The providers table lists each endpoint's context limit.

Is GPT-5.4 Mini open-weight?

No linked weights. No downloadable model weights are linked in the current source data. This does not identify every API or chat product that offers the model.
