Premier models, including GPT-5.4, are disabled by default. A tenant administrator must enable them by using ADK CLI version 2.13.0.
Usage of premier models incurs additional costs (MAUs). Administrators must communicate this to users before enabling. Premier models are not available in trial tenants. When premier models are disabled, all agents (live and draft) that use them stop working immediately.

Enabling premier models for a local or default tenant

Run the following command to enable premier models on your local or default tenant.
Note: If your local Developer Edition targets a remote watson Orchestrate instance because you set WO_INSTANCE and WO_API_KEY in your environment file, the command above enables premier models on your local tenant only. To make premier models available in the local UI, you must also enable them on the remote instance. The CLI warns you if this applies to your setup. To enable premier models on the remote instance, activate that environment and re-run the command. For more information, see Enabling premier models for a remote tenant (SaaS).
