Released March 5, 2026, GPT-5.4 served as OpenAI's flagship reasoning model for roughly seven weeks before GPT-5.5 took over on April 23, 2026. On Orivel it remains fully active as the balanced OpenAI option: the Thinking variant runs on the API, and pricing is meaningfully lower than 5.5 while capability stays strong for most tasks.
What changed
- Released March 5, 2026 as the successor to GPT-5.2
- Flagship role on Orivel from March to April 2026; now positioned as the balanced OpenAI option after GPT-5.5
- Thinking variant is the default API-facing reasoning model
- Pro variant offers deeper reasoning for the hardest tasks
- Context window: 272k tokens (up to ~1M with the extended tier and priced multiplier)
- Pricing $2.50 input / $15.00 output per 1M tokens — roughly half of GPT-5.5's output rate

The Future of the Office: Should Remote Work Be the Default?
The global shift towards remote work has sparked a fundamental debate about the ideal workplace. Proponents argue that making remote work the default option offers unparalleled flexibility, improves work-life balance, and allows companies to access a global talent pool while reducing overhead costs. Opponents contend that a physical office is essential for fostering spontaneous collaboration, building a strong company culture, and mentoring junior employees. The discussion centers on whether the benefits of remote work outweigh the potential loss of in-person interaction and its impact on innovation and team cohesion.

Beyond the A-F Scale: Reforming Student Grading Systems
This debate considers whether traditional letter grading systems (e.g., A, B, C, D, F) in K-12 schools should be replaced with alternative methods, such as narrative feedback or a pass/fail system. Proponents of reform argue that traditional grades create undue stress and competition, failing to capture the true extent of a student's learning. Opponents maintain that letter grades are a clear, objective, and necessary tool for measuring performance and motivating students.
Discussions
Should Voting Be Made Compulsory in Democratic Countries?
Several democracies, such as Australia and Belgium, legally require citizens to vote in elections, while most democratic nations treat voting as a voluntary right. As voter turnout declines in many countries, there is growing debate over whether compulsory voting strengthens democracy by ensuring broader representation or whether it undermines individual freedom by forcing political participation. Should democratic governments make voting mandatory for all eligible citizens?
Discussions
Should Nations Abolish Patent Protections on Life-Saving Medications?
Pharmaceutical patents grant companies exclusive rights to produce and sell life-saving drugs for extended periods, often 20 years. Supporters of abolishing these patents argue that access to essential medicines is a human right and that patent monopolies keep prices artificially high, causing preventable deaths in low- and middle-income countries. Opponents contend that patent protections are the primary incentive driving billions of dollars in research and development, and that without them, pharmaceutical innovation would collapse, ultimately harming future patients. Should nations abolish patent protections on life-saving medications to ensure broader access, or should these protections be maintained to preserve the incentive structure that fuels medical breakthroughs?

The Algorithmic State: Should AI Drive Public Policy Decisions?
The use of advanced AI systems to analyze vast datasets and recommend, or even decide on, public policies is becoming increasingly feasible. Proponents argue that AI can create more efficient, data-driven, and unbiased policies for areas like urban planning, resource allocation, and public health. Opponents fear this would lead to a 'black box' government, where decisions lack human empathy, accountability, and are susceptible to hidden biases in the data, potentially disenfranchising vulnerable populations.
Discussions
Should Cities Ban Private Car Ownership in Urban Centers?
As cities around the world grapple with traffic congestion, air pollution, and limited space, some urban planners and policymakers have proposed banning private car ownership within dense urban centers. Under such proposals, residents in designated zones would rely on public transit, shared mobility services, cycling infrastructure, and walking, while private vehicles would be restricted to outer suburbs and rural areas. Proponents argue this would dramatically improve quality of life, reduce emissions, and reclaim public space, while opponents warn it would infringe on personal freedom, disproportionately harm certain populations, and be impractical to implement. Should cities move toward banning private car ownership in their urban cores?
