Our take
Written Sep 2, 2026GPT-5.4 Image 2 is a proprietary multimodal creative tool from OpenAI that generates images and text from text, image and file inputs. Its 272,000-token request limit suits large composite prompts, though no quality scores are available to judge its output against the premium price.
Pick this for multimodal workflows that need both image generation and text output in a single call, or when 272K tokens are needed for complex composite prompts. Skip it if you want measured quality data, an open-weights alternative, or a lower-cost option with visible performance justification.
The case for it
- 272,000-token request limit, substantial for complex multimodal prompts.
- Verified 44 tokens per second on OpenAI's own infrastructure.
The case against it
- No benchmark scores in our data, so there is no measured quality or capability evidence.
- Premium output pricing with no visible performance justification.
- Proprietary weights with no disclosed licence and no open alternative path.
How good is it?
We hold no score for this model.
So there is no figure here for everyday use, coding, agent work or writing. That is a gap in our data, not a low score.
