GPT 5.4 Mini
GPT 5.4 Mini is served by 3 providers that kRouter can route to, with a 400K-token context window and pricing from $3.00 per 1M input tokens. Because more than one provider offers it, the price you pay depends on which one you route to — the same request, the same model, different bills.

What GPT 5.4 Mini is suited for
A 400K window is large enough to hold a substantial part of a codebase in one turn, so it suits whole-repo refactors and long agent sessions where the history keeps growing. It supports extended reasoning, which helps on debugging and multi-step planning but spends output tokens on thinking before the answer appears — worth knowing when you set max_tokens. Tool and function calling are supported, so it can drive an agent loop. It accepts images, so screenshots and diagrams can go straight into the prompt. Cached input is billed at $1.50 against $3.00 fresh, which is the difference that matters most for agent work — the same context is resent on every turn.
