## About GPT 5.2

GPT-5.2 is a large language model OpenAI released on December 11, 2025, one week after CEO Sam Altman's internal code red memo about competition from Google's Gemini. OpenAI pitched it at professional knowledge work: spreadsheets, presentations, code, image understanding, long documents, and multi-step projects. It shipped in three ChatGPT variants, Instant for routine tasks, Thinking for complex work, and Pro for extended reasoning, with API access from day one and a coding-tuned GPT-5.2-Codex sibling.

On Artifio, GPT-5.2 runs as a text model beside 100+ others in one workspace, paid per generation from a single wallet.

## Features

- 400,000-token context window with up to 128,000 output tokens.
- Configurable reasoning effort in the API, from none through low, medium, high, and xhigh.
- Accepts text and image input; outputs text.
- Supports function calling, streaming, and structured outputs.
- Knowledge cutoff of August 31, 2025.
- Three ChatGPT tiers (Instant, Thinking, Pro) tuned for speed, depth, and extended reasoning respectively.

## What people use it for

- Spreadsheet building and financial modeling, the launch's flagship demonstrations.
- Drafting presentations and long documents from working materials.
- Coding tasks, either directly or via the GPT-5.2-Codex variant.
- Analysis over hundreds of thousands of tokens of context in one pass.
- Multi-step agentic projects that chain tool calls.

## Reported strengths

- Scored 70.9% on GDPval, OpenAI's benchmark of real occupational knowledge work, versus 38.8% for GPT-5.1; MacRumors reported it as OpenAI's first model to perform at or above human expert level on that measure.
- Responses containing errors were 30% less common than with GPT-5.1.
- Long-context handling across the full 400K window was a launch focus.
- Wide availability from day one: paid ChatGPT plans and the API simultaneously.

## Reported limitations

- The Guardian reported that GPT-5.2 drew on Grokipedia as a source, which researcher Nina Jankowicz criticized as poorly sourced.
- Coverage positioned it for power users, developers, and enterprise agents rather than casual chat, and the strongest variants sit behind paid plans.
- OpenAI's own model page now describes it as a previous frontier model and points new projects to later releases.
- Its August 2025 knowledge cutoff predates the model's own launch window by several months.
