GPT 5.4 deployed on US EAST 2 is responding slow

Hamsa Subramanian 0

I am using GPT 5.1, 2, 3 and 4 models to extract named entities from a bank Trial Balance. It takes 2 minutes for it to extract. I am not sure why it takes more time. I have tweaked prompts and still did not help. If I try the same in ChatGPT, I don't see the problem.

Hi Hamsa Subramanian

I think content filtering policy/Size of file might be coming into picture along regional slowness.

Please help me with details requested in private message for support ticket creation.

Thank you.

Hi Hamsa Subramanian

Just wanted to add that we can leverage named entity recognition from Language instead of leveraging using GPT 5.4 here.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/overview/azure/ai-textanalytics-readme?view=azure-python-preview&preserve-view=true

GPT 5 series models are reasoning models and might incur processing time to reason and generate answer. It would be efficient and cost effective to Entity recognition from Text Analytics services which is very customizable at customer side.

Please share few files, prompts in private message to investigate slowness in GPT 5.4 side (East Us 2) if the issue persisted for post mitigation.

Thank you
