100-word summary
OpenAI released GPT-5.4 on March 5, adding native computer control to its flagship model. The AI can now operate apps and browsers directly using Playwright-style commands, handling multi-step tasks like building spreadsheets or debugging web apps without human handoffs. It also gained a 1 million token context window and shows its reasoning upfront in ChatGPT before generating answers. The model handles images up to 10.24 megapixels for sharper visual understanding. Available now through ChatGPT Plus/Team/Pro and the API, though OpenAI warns costs are higher and integration takes careful planning. The pitch: fewer clicks between asking and finishing.
