OpenAI launches GPT-5.4 model, says AI can now operate your computer without humans
India Today
OpenAI has introduced GPT-5.4, a new AI model designed to handle complex professional work such as spreadsheets, documents and presentations. The company says the model can also operate a computer on behalf of users across different applications.
AI tools are gradually moving beyond answering questions or generating text. Technology companies are now trying to build systems that can carry out tasks on a computer in the same way a person would. With this goal in mind, OpenAI has introduced GPT-5.4, a new AI model that the company says is designed to handle complex professional work involving spreadsheets, documents and presentations.
The company says GPT-5.4 combines improvements in reasoning, coding and tasks that are common in office work. The model is also the first from OpenAI to come with native computer-use capabilities. This allows the AI system to operate a computer and perform actions across different applications on behalf of a user.
According to the company, GPT-5.4 can generate code that helps it control a computer. It can send keyboard and mouse commands and respond to screenshots to understand what is happening on the screen. This allows the AI system to identify what needs to be done next and perform tasks across different software tools.
The release comes as AI companies are working on systems that can act like digital agents capable of completing tasks online or inside applications. Over the past year, several such tools have appeared, including systems that can take control of a computer to perform tasks such as searching for products online or buying ingredients for a meal.
OpenAI has also introduced a reasoning-focused version of the model called GPT-5.4 Thinking. This version is being rolled out inside ChatGPT. The company says the model is designed to handle queries that require multiple steps before arriving at an answer.
Inside ChatGPT, GPT-5.4 Thinking can show an outline of how it is approaching a complex task. Users will also be able to modify their request while the model is generating a response instead of restarting the process.
