OpenAI denies moving up the launch to better address competition from Google’s Gemini 3.
OpenAI has released GPT-5.2, which aims to be ChatGPT’s « most capable model series yet for professional knowledge work. »
It comes a few weeks after the launch of GPT-5.1, and seemingly drops the « garlic » codename that OpenAI teased online this week. Examples of what it can do include coding, creating spreadsheets, building presentations, and handling complex, multi-step projects. OpenAI is leaning into its workplace customers, and claims ChatGPT enterprise users can save 40–60 minutes a day, or more than 10 hours a week for heavy users, with GPT-5.2.
While ChatGPT can already do all these things in some form, OpenAI says GPT-5.2 « sets a new state of the art across many benchmarks », especially the 44 occupations for which it tested its performance on « well-specified » tasks.
