ChatGPT Free Supports GPT-5.4 Again - OpenClaw Users Benefit
After a temporary restriction, GPT-5.4 integration is available again in ChatGPT Free and OpenClaw. The sudden return raises questions about the motivations behind this decision.
GPT-5.4 Integration Suddenly Available Again
ChatGPT Free users and the OpenClaw community can breathe a sigh of relief: The GPT-5.4 integration is active again after a brief interruption. According to a report from the Chinese tech platform 蓝点网 (@landiantech), the interface was not working last night but is functioning perfectly this morning.
Speculation About the Motivations
The sudden return of GPT-5.4 to the free service raises questions. Some observers suspect that the high "talkativeness" of GPT-5.4 - its tendency to generate very detailed responses - may have led to unexpectedly high usage. This in turn could have prompted OpenAI to temporarily restrict access.
OpenClaw Users Benefit Directly
Particularly good news for OpenClaw users: The platform, which specializes in ChatGPT integration, was able to seamlessly adopt the GPT-5.4 functionality. This means users once again have access to the latest features and performance characteristics of the model - at no additional cost.
No Official Confirmation
So far, OpenAI has not issued any official statement about the reasons for the temporary shutdown and subsequent reactivation. The community remains curious whether similar fluctuations will occur in the future.
