> What a model mess! OpenAI now has three price points: GPT 5.1, GPT 5.2 and now GPT 5.4.

I don't know, this feels unnecessarily nitpicky to me

It isn't hard to understand that 5.4 > 5.2 > 5.1. It's not hard to understand that the dash-variants have unique properties that you want to look up before selecting.

Especially for a target audience of software engineers skipping a version number is a common occurrence and never questioned.
