OpenAI is the AI research lab founded in December 2015 by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever and others. The company shipped GPT-1 through GPT-5 and the unified GPT-5.x line (2025-2026). GPT-5.4 nano was released alongside GPT-5.4 mini on March 17, 2026 as the smallest, cheapest variant of the GPT-5.4 generation, aimed at the 'subagent era' of agentic workflows. OpenAI is backed by Microsoft and other major investors with a 2026 valuation above $300 billion.
Visit OpenAI →GPT-5.4 nano is the lightest member of the GPT-5.4 family, released March 17, 2026 as OpenAI's smallest and cheapest reasoning-capable model. It is heavily distilled from larger GPT-5.4 teacher models and trained to excel at classification, extraction, ranking and coding subagent tasks. Architecturally it retains the unified GPT-5.4 design: native text + image input, integrated 'Thinking' tier on demand, and full tool-use API including parallel tool calls. The 400K context window is unusually large for a nano-class model and supports long-document subagent work. Post-training emphasized reliability on structured outputs, JSON schema adherence and function calling, since nano-class models are typically deployed in deterministic pipelines.
- Parameters

- Context
- 400K tokens
- Smallest and cheapest GPT-5.4 variant
- 400K token context window
- Native multimodal input: text and images
- Integrated 'Thinking' tier for occasional harder tasks
- Strong on classification, extraction, ranking and coding subagent tasks
- Native tool use, function calling and parallel tool calls
- Reliable structured JSON output and schema adherence
- Edge-grade latency suitable for real-time pipelines
- Major upgrade over GPT-5 nano on every measured benchmark
- Available in ChatGPT (free tier) and the OpenAI API
- Best for: classification, data extraction, ranking, coding subagents under an orchestrator.
Heavily distilled from larger GPT-5.4 teacher models. Pretraining uses a multi-trillion-token mixture; post-training combines supervised fine-tuning, RLHF and RL against verifiable rewards with a strong emphasis on structured-output reliability. Knowledge cutoff approximately late 2025.
