OpenAI released its GPT-5.4 "Thinking" model today, achieving human-level reasoning across several scientific disciplines [1]. The model reached an 83% score on the GDPVal benchmark, a metric used to evaluate performance on professional tasks [1][2]. This score indicates the model matches or exceeds the capabilities of human experts in complex fields [1]. Advancing Professional Research The model is currently in use for specialized applications like climate modeling and protein folding analysis [1]. Researchers are also applying GPT-5.4 to drug discovery to speed up development cycles [1][2]. These updates suggest a significant shift in how AI manages highly technical datasets [2].
