GPT-5.4 Nano

Cheapest OpenAI option for high-throughput classification, tagging, and routing — ideal as a first-pass filter before a stronger model.

Limited reasoning depth means it should be treated as a triage layer, not a final answer source, for anything business-critical.

Llama 4 Maverick

Strong multi-modal (text + image) open-weight model with a 1M-token context window — good for self-hosted or fine-tuned deployments.

Smaller completion-token cap (16K) than newer commercial models limits very long single-turn outputs — chunk long generations.
