openclaw quietly going all-in on gpt-5.4
latest update adds proper routing, recovery, codex support, reasoning tweaks – it’s clear optimization
thehype compared gpt-5.4 vs opus using openrouter data and found something interesting:
- gpt-5.4 leads on price, agentic index, and hle
- but opus still dominates tokens via openclaw (last month)
so while the stack is shifting toward gpt, users aren’t fully switching yet
