Effective date: June 1st, 2026 · Previous default: GPT-4.1 mini · Action required: None, unless opting out
Overview
| Change | Default system model update |
| New default | GPT-5.4 nano |
| Previous default | GPT-4.1 mini |
| Effective date | June 1st, 2026 |
| Action required | None, unless opting out |
What’s improving
Newer model generation
GPT-5.4 nano is part of the latest model family, designed for stronger reasoning and more reliable outputs.
Increased output capacity
Supports significantly larger responses, enabling more detailed workflows, plans, and results.
Improved tool usage and reasoning
Better at multi-step thinking, tool selection, and orchestrating complex agent tasks.
More recent training data
Updated knowledge base leads to better accuracy across modern use cases.
Cost impact
GPT-5.4 nano is more cost-efficient for most workloads. Some tasks may generate longer outputs due to improved reasoning, but the overall expected impact is equal or lower cost per execution.| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Cost per token | Lower than GPT-4.1 mini |
| Output length | May increase for complex tasks |
| Expected net cost | Equal or lower per execution |
Important: opting out
If you have workflows or agents that rely on GPT-4.1 mini and do not want them to migrate to the new default, you need to explicitly configure them before June 1st, 2026.Create a dedicated agent
Set up an agent specifically for the workflows that need to retain the previous model.
Model configuration options
You can control model usage at multiple levels:- Agent level — Set a specific model in the agent’s General tab. This overrides the system default for all workflows using that agent.
- Workflow level — Override the model for a specific workflow where required.
Summary
What's better
- Better intelligence
- Stronger agent capabilities
- Larger outputs
- Lower cost
What you need to do
Nothing — unless you want to keep using GPT-4.1 mini. In that case, set the model explicitly at the agent level before June 1st, 2026.
