OpenAI: GPT-5.4 Nano

openai/gpt-5.4-nano

Compare

GPT-5.4 nano is the most lightweight and cost-efficient variant of the GPT-5.4 family, optimized for speed-critical and high-volume tasks. It supports text and image inputs and is designed for low-latency use cases such as classification, data extraction, ranking, and sub-agent execution.

The model prioritizes responsiveness and efficiency over deep reasoning, making it ideal for pipelines that require fast, reliable outputs at scale. GPT-5.4 nano is well suited for background tasks, real-time systems, and distributed agent architectures where minimizing cost and latency is essential.

Providers

Different companies host the same model. OpenRouter routes your request to one of them based on the routing mode you pick — Balanced (price + speed), Nitro (fastest), or Exacto (highest tool-calling accuracy).

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations. Higher percentages are better — and rank percentile shows where this model lands among all models on OpenRouter.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.

About OpenAI: GPT-5.4 Nano

OpenRouter makes OpenAI: GPT-5.4 Nano available through a unified, OpenAI-compatible API using the model ID openai/gpt-5.4-nano. Requests can be routed across 2 providers, including Azure (US) and OpenAI, with automatic failover when an endpoint is unavailable.

OpenAI: GPT-5.4 Nano accepts files such as PDFs, images and text and returns text. It has a 400,000-token context window and a maximum output of 128,000 tokens.

On OpenRouter, OpenAI: GPT-5.4 Nano costs $0.20/M input tokens and $1.25/M output tokens, with separate rates for Cache Read at $0.02/M tokens. Effective pricing can be lower when prompt caching applies. It was released on March 17, 2026; its knowledge cutoff is August 31, 2025.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and customization options.
