GPT-5.4 Thinking Scores 83% on GDPVal — Above Human Expert Level on Value-Creating Tasks

AI Surpasses Expert Level on Work That Actually Creates Value

OpenAI has launched GPT-5.4 "Thinking," and it's not an incremental update. The model has scored 83.0% on the GDPVal benchmark — a test designed to evaluate AI performance on tasks that actually create economic value, not just text generation or quiz questions.

My take:

83% on GDPVal is a number that should be written into the next board presentation. Not to create fear, but to calibrate the pace of AI adoption. We are no longer in the "near future" phase — we are in the "now" phase.
