Best GPT-5.4 alternatives
Users often seek alternatives to GPT-5.4 due to its high output price and lack of native audio or video support alongside potential latency issues with large contexts. This list covers seven other multimodal models with varying intelligence, speed, cost, and context capabilities drawn from the provided details.
OpenAI's multimodal model for large-scale text, image and file tasks.
OpenAI's compact multimodal model for long-context file and image tasks.
Multimodal model handling large-scale image, text, and file tasks.
It delivers a similar large context of over a million tokens at a lower price of $8 per million tokens than GPT-5.4 though with lower intelligence. The model supports flexible multimodal inputs with the trade-off of possible hallucinations on complex tasks.
Anthropic's closed multimodal model with a million-token context window.
Google's multimodal model processes text, images, audio, video and files over 1M tokens.
Meta's open multimodal model for long text and image sequences.
Multimodal coding model with 400k-token context from OpenAI.
