What are the verified coding and reasoning benchmarks for GPT 5.4?

GPT 5.4 achieves SWE-bench Verified: 76.8% (Thinking), LiveCodeBench: 80.1%, AIME: 95.2%. Verified sources: OpenAI GPT-5.4 Architecture Milestone (OpenAI).

How do I run GPT 5.4 with Swarm?

Configure GPT 5.4 via CLI using: swarm ctl model set --provider openai --model openai/gpt-5.4, or switch models interactively inside the terminal TUI with /models.

Does Swarm isolate GPT 5.4 code edits from other agents?

Yes. Swarm provisions isolated Git worktrees for every session and subagent, preventing file race conditions and keeping your main working tree clean until verification passes.

Can GPT 5.4 be assigned to specific subagent roles?

Yes. In ~/.swarm/config.json, you can configure GPT 5.4 as Primary/Planner (DAG task decomposition), Coder (implementation in isolated worktrees), or Finder (read-only symbol search).

GPT 5.4 — Specs, Context & Capabilities

Q: What is the recommended Swarm multi-agent topology for GPT 5.4?

Swarm recommends GPT 5.4 as Primary / Planner (Tier 1: Master Autonomous Architect). Supreme orchestration capabilities for decomposing complex epics into deterministic Task Programs. Best paired with: Gemini 3.8 Flash for subagent implementation.
