OpenAI Launches GPT-5.4 Model and New Financial Tools

Investing.com - OpenAI announced on Thursday a new artificial intelligence model and financial service tool designed to handle office tasks with less user interaction.

According to OpenAI, the GPT-5.4 model can generate spreadsheets, documents, and presentations while reducing the number of interactions with users. The system can gather information from multiple sources, analyze data, and generate responses, searching the web to answer complex questions.

OpenAI has launched tools aimed at helping professionals with financial analysis and investment memos. These products are connected to financial data companies like FactSet Research Systems Inc. (NYSE:FDS) and Third Bridge. Users can access ChatGPT directly within Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Excel and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Sheets to create and review financial models.

This release intensifies competition with Anthropic PBC, which launched its Claude financial services version last year. Both companies are working to attract paying business professionals to cover development costs and demonstrate their valuation.

In recent months, OpenAI and Anthropic have released multiple models capable of performing a broader range of tasks beyond just assisting with coding and debugging. This development has affected investor sentiment toward traditional software companies.

The new model will be available to paid subscribers as GPT-5.4 Thinking, indicating that responses may take longer to process. It will also run through the company’s AI coding assistant Codex.

GPT-5.4 Thinking will showcase how it handles complex tasks and allow users to adjust the direction during response generation.
