On Arena, which measures human preference in blind comparisons, it has 1,446 ELO points (#135). On LiveBench, the overall average is 66.4, #54 out of 58 scored models. Against models of the same generation, its best result is on SciCode: 52.1%, #10 of 45.
Where GPT-5.4 Mini stands out and where it falls behind, by the numbers
GPT-5.4 Mini has published results on 22 tests compiled by Epoch AI. The yardstick here is its generation: its position among the models released between Jun 20, 2025 and Jun 15, 2026 that took the same test. Against the whole archive, which includes 2023 models, a recent release lands near the top of almost everything, and that says nothing.
Where it stands out
Tests where it sits in the top third of its own generation.
Where it falls behind
Tests where it sits in the bottom half of its own generation.

What GPT-5.4 Mini costs to deliver each task
Price per token is what is on the price sheet; cost per task is what lands on the invoice, because it depends on how many tokens the model spends. Each point is an effort level, published by whoever ran the test and compiled by Epoch AI. The further up and to the left, the more score per dollar.

What people ask about GPT-5.4 Mini
Where does GPT-5.4 Mini rank among AI models?
In the ROO3 AI Benchmark, ordered by the Epoch AI ECI, GPT-5.4 Mini ranks #65 out of 267 models, with an ECI of 148.77. The ECI is a composite index that combines several hard benchmarks into a single scale. The position changes when a new model comes out, and the page is refreshed six times a day.
Is GPT-5.4 Mini better than Grok 4.3 Beta?
Across the 15 tests both models took and Epoch AI compiled, GPT-5.4 Mini comes out ahead on 9, behind on 6 and tied on 0. It is a test-by-test count with no weighting: a win in math counts the same as a win in coding. To choose between the two, look at the tests that resemble your own use.
What is GPT-5.4 Mini best at?
Against models of the same generation (released up to 9 months before and up to 3 months after it), the best relative results of GPT-5.4 Mini are: SciCode (#10 of 45); ALE-Bench (#11 of 48); CritPt (#14 of 49). The yardstick is its position among the models of that period that took the same test.
Where do the numbers on this page come from?
From the same three sources as the ranking, all openly licensed: Epoch AI (ECI and individual tests, CC BY 4.0), Arena (human-preference ELO, CC BY 4.0) and LiveBench (overall average, CC BY-SA 4.0). ROO3 does not measure any model. When the page shows a figure published by the maker itself, it appears in the written analysis, labeled as the maker's, and never enters the ranking.
