GPT-5.4: OpenAI Masters PC Control and Signs $200M Pentagon Contract

OpenAI launched GPT-5.4 — the first mainstream model with native PC control. The AI analyzes screenshots, clicks the mouse, types text, and executes commands without additional plugins. Context window expanded to 1.05M tokens (+160% vs GPT-5.2). GPT-5.4 Mini/Nano versions deliver <200ms response for real-time use. Available now in ChatGPT Pro ($200/month) and API. 🎯 PC Control: How It Works OSWorld-Verified benchmark: ✅ 75% success rate (beats average human) ✅ Opens browser → scrapes data → Excel → email ✅ Reads interface from screenshots, clicks buttons ✅ Shows action plan before execution

Technical specifications:

💻 PC Control Process

1. Screenshot analysis → interface recognition

2. GPT-5.4 creates action plan (shows to user)

3. Click/type → verifies result on next screenshot

4. User correction commands

5. Safety: user policies by risk levels

Real use cases:

• Fill CRM → send 50 invoices to clients
• Scrape prices from 10 sites → Excel report
• 1C/QuickBooks: import → inventory reconciliation

🛡️ Pentagon Contract: $200M

OpenAI secured U.S. DoD contract:

Amount: $200M (June 2025)
Timeline: through July 2026
Purpose: AI prototypes for national security
Platform: OpenAI for Government

Military applications:
