I've tested it just now, very Opus-like experience. The speed is also there so far I think I even like the response of GPT5.4 better than Opus (although very close) I might not distinguish them just yet.

I tried several use cases: - Code Explanation: Did far much better than Opus, considered and judged his decision on a previous spec that I made, all valid points so I am impressed. TBF if I spawned another Opus as a reviewer I might got similar results. - Workflow Running: Really similar to Opus again, no objections it followed and read Skills/Tools as it should be (although mine are optimized for Claude) - Coding: I gave it a straightforward task to wrap an API calls to an SDK and to my surprise it did 'identical' job with Opus, literally the same code, I don't know what the odds are to this but again very good solution and it adhered our rules of implementing such code.

Overall I am impressed and excited to see a rival to Opus and all of this is literally pushing everyone to get better and better models which is always good for us.
