gpt-5.4
Practical GPT model for general chat, SaaS integrations, streaming, structured output, and workflow automation.
Overview
- GPT-5.4 is positioned in the current GPT88 catalog as a practical OpenAI-compatible model for stable, cost-aware application workloads.
- It can serve as a starting candidate for general chat, ticket routing, and business automation while retaining tool-calling and structured-output workflows.
- Its role as a practical default should be validated against your own quality, latency, and usage requirements rather than inferred from the model name alone.
Best Use Cases
- Use it for general chat, ticket routing, and business process automation
- Evaluate it when a SaaS team wants a straightforward OpenAI-compatible integration
- Test it for medium-complexity work that uses structured output, streaming, or function calling
- Use it as a default candidate while routing harder or lighter tasks to an appropriate tier
Integration Notes
- Use the GPT88 Base URL https://api.gpt88.cc and set model to gpt-5.4 in OpenAI-compatible requests.
- Validate both streaming and non-streaming requests before enabling a complete workflow.
- Keep the model ID, API key, and route configuration separate so environments can be changed independently.
- Call GET /v1/models or check the console to confirm access for the current API key.
Usage Notes
- Availability, pricing, context limits, rate limits, routes, permissions, and feature support are determined by the current GPT88 console configuration.
- More complex long-document or multimodal tasks may need a higher-capability model after workload-specific evaluation.
- Use a staged rollout and measure quality, errors, latency, and usage before adopting it as a production default.

Endpoint Path
The endpoint path is determined by the model category. Chat, image, video, and audio models use different endpoints.
Send requests with Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>. See Chat Completions API for the full parameter reference.

Headers / Auth
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Authorization | string | Required | Send Bearer <GPT88_API_KEY>. Create the API key in the gpt88.cc console. |
Content-Type | string | Required | Request body format. Audio transcription uploads use multipart/form-data.Default: application/json |
Accept | string | Optional | Non-streaming requests return JSON; streaming chat requests return SSE chunks. Default: application/json or text/event-stream |

Chat Protocol Differences
For chat models, the protocol used by the client matters as much as the model name. Claude Code / Anthropic SDK and OpenAI SDK build different request paths.
- Base URL
- https://api.gpt88.cc
- Endpoint
- POST /v1/chat/completions
- Body
- { "model": "gpt-5.4", "messages": [...] }
- Base URL
- https://api.gpt88.cc
- Endpoint
- POST /v1/messages
- Body
- { "model": "gpt-5.4", "messages": [...] }
This model is usually best accessed through the OpenAI-compatible protocol. Only use the Anthropic-style path when the target tool explicitly requires it.
Request Parameters
The fields below are generated by model category. Pricing, context limits, rate limits, and available routes should be confirmed in the gpt88.cc console.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
model | string | Required | Current model ID: gpt-5.4. Preserve the exact casing when copying. |
messages | array<Message> | Required | Conversation history. Each message includes role and content. |
stream | boolean | Optional | Enable SSE streaming. Useful for chat interfaces and long responses. Default: false |
temperature | number | Optional | Sampling temperature. Higher values produce more variation; production workloads usually start with a fixed value. Default: 1 |
max_tokens | integer | Optional | Maximum output tokens for this request. Real context limits should be confirmed in the console. |
response_format | object | Optional | Structured output config, for example { "type": "json_object" }. |
tools | array<Tool> | Optional | Function-calling tool definitions. Availability depends on the model and account configuration. |

Response Fields
Response bodies generally follow OpenAI-compatible shapes. Media models may return async task IDs or resource URLs.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | Required | Unique completion ID for tracing and debugging. |
object | string | Required | Usually chat.completion or a streaming chunk type. |
model | string | Required | Actual model ID that handled inference. |
choices | array<Choice> | Required | Generated choices including message, delta, and finish_reason. |
usage | object | Optional | Token usage statistics. Streaming calls may return this only at the end or in non-streaming mode. |

Status Codes
