GPT-5.2

GPT-5.2 is OpenAI's model generation from December 2025 — three variants (instant, thinking, Pro), a 400k context window and new state-of-the-art on professional knowledge work.

GPT-5.2 — explained in more detail

OpenAI released GPT-5.2 on December 11, 2025, roughly three weeks after Google’s Gemini 3 Pro. The generation ships in three variants: GPT-5.2 instant for fast replies, GPT-5.2 thinking as the reasoning model with standard and extended thinking modes, and GPT-5.2 Pro with higher reasoning effort and correspondingly more compute. Both 5.2 models offer a 400,000-token context window with up to 128,000 output tokens. Knowledge cutoff: August 31, 2025.

Example / Practical use

GPT-5.2 Thinking set a new state-of-the-art score at launch on GDPval — an eval measuring knowledge work across 44 occupations. It was the first model to perform at or above the level of human experts, beating or tying top professionals on 70.9% of comparisons. Alongside it, OpenAI shipped a coding-specialized variant, GPT-5.2-Codex. Improvement themes: long-context understanding, agentic tool-calling, vision, plus building spreadsheets and presentations.
