OpenAI launched GPT-5.4 on March 5th, the first AI Agent to integrate computer operation capabilities into a general model. The model enhances multi-task processing abilities, automating tasks through screenshot recognition and mouse and keyboard commands. Although it performs well in fields like financial modeling, its real-world reliability still needs verification. Competitors such as Anthropic and Google are also continuously developing, and this update marks intense competition in the enterprise AI Agent market. Trust will be a key factor.
