GPT-5.4 Pro vs StepFun Step-2

GPT-5.4 Pro (2026) and StepFun Step-2 (2025) are frontier reasoning models from OpenAI and StepFun. GPT-5.4 Pro ships a 1.05m-token context window, while StepFun Step-2 ships a 128k-token context window. This comparison covers specs, pricing, API access, capabilities, benchmarks, input and output token costs, and production fit for coding and agent workloads. It focuses on practical selection signals rather than broad model-family marketing.

GPT-5.4 Pro fits 8x more tokens; pick it for long-context work and StepFun Step-2 for tighter calls.
