Make Adds OpenAI GPT-5.4 Mini and Nano Models for Faster, Cost-Efficient Automation

Make has added support for OpenAI's newly released GPT-5.4 mini and GPT-5.4 nano models, giving users access to faster, more cost-efficient AI processing for high-volume automation workflows.

The two models target different use cases within Make's automation platform. GPT-5.4 mini delivers near-flagship reasoning capabilities at roughly twice the speed of previous models, while GPT-5.4 nano is positioned as the most cost-efficient option for repetitive, high-volume tasks. Both models are now available through the Make AI provider, which requires no separate OpenAI account, or users can connect their own OpenAI API keys.

Integration Across Make's AI Toolkit

The new models are accessible in three places within Make. First, they're available in the OpenAI app modules: Simple Text Prompt, Generate a Response, and Generate a Completion. These modules allow users to build scenarios that call OpenAI's API directly.

Second, the models integrate with Make's AI Agents framework, where mini and nano can function as subagents in more complex agentic workflows. This matters for organizations designing multi-step automation that requires different AI models at different stages, such as using nano for initial data processing and mini for more nuanced decision-making.

The rollout follows Make's broader push into agentic automation, including recent updates like MCP Toolboxes for controlled agent access and an agent library with pre-built templates.

Cost and Speed Considerations

The introduction of these models matters most for users running automation at scale. GPT-5.4 nano's cost efficiency makes it viable for tasks like bulk data classification, content moderation, or simple customer support triage where flagship models would be overkill. GPT-5.4 mini sits in the middle, offering stronger reasoning than nano without the latency or cost of flagship models like GPT-4.

Make's decision to offer these models through its own AI provider simplifies onboarding. Users can test and deploy scenarios without managing separate API credentials, though the option to bring your own key remains for those who need direct billing control or have existing OpenAI credits.

For teams already using Zapier or n8n, the update puts Make on similar footing in terms of AI model access. The ability to mix models within a single scenario, using nano for high-volume steps and mini for nuanced ones, gives Make users flexibility in optimizing both performance and costs across complex workflows.

The models are available now to all Make users through the OpenAI app and AI Agents modules.

The AI-Native Solopreneur: Build Without a Technical Co-Founder

Effie Bersoux presents a paradigm shift in entrepreneurship where AI enables solo founders to build, validate, and scale businesses without technical co-founders or significant capital. Drawing from Growth Girls' experience building 40+ companies in one year and going from a £4m exit (7 years) to a £40m acquisition target (1 year), she demonstrates how AI breaks the traditional capital-talent-traction loop that disadvantages undercapitalized founders. The talk provides concrete frameworks for AI-native operating models, automation decision-making, and rapid idea-to-market validation.

The Mindset Shift That's Creating AI Native Companies

Former HMRC Deputy IT Director Ashraf Murtada shares a framework for understanding AI maturity through three levels: AI Assistance (demanding specific outputs), AI Agents (autonomous systems like Team Brain that join meetings and generate documentation), and AI Coding (building complete applications in hours instead of months). The presentation includes live demos of games, internal tools, and SaaS products built rapidly with AI, arguing that software development is becoming commoditized and traditional MVP timelines are collapsing from 6 months to 6 weeks.
