Openai has released the latest version, GPT-5.2. This version features significant improvements in general intelligence, long-context understanding, agents, and vision.
- The model performs better in creating spreadsheets, designing presentations, writing code, recognizing images, understanding long text context, using tools, and handling complex multi-step projects.
- GPT-5.2 has broken industry records in numerous benchmarks, including GDPval. In this assessment, it outperformed industry experts on explicitly knowledge-based work tasks covering 44 occupations.
- GPT-5.2 Thinking achieved a new score of 55.6% in the SWE-bench Pro test. SWE-bench Pro is a rigorous benchmark that evaluates real-world software engineering capabilities. Unlike SWE-bench Verified, which only tests Python, SWE-bench Pro covers four languages, aiming to be more robust, challenging, diverse, and closer to real-world industrial scenarios.
- GPT-5.2 Thinking also outperforms GPT-5.1 Thinking in front-end software engineering. Early testers found it to perform better in front-end development and complex or unconventional UI tasks (especially scenarios involving 3D elements).
- GPT-5.2 Thinking sets a new technical benchmark in long-context reasoning.
- In real-world tasks, such as deep document analysis (requiring information across hundreds of thousands of tokens), GPT-5.2 Thinking's accuracy is significantly higher than GPT-5.1 Thinking.
- GPT-5.2 Thinking is the most powerful visual model to date, significantly reducing error rates in diagram reasoning and software interface understanding by approximately half.
GPT-5.2 in ChatGPT
- GPT-5.2 Instant is a highly efficient and powerful "mainstay model" for daily work and learning, showing significant improvements in information retrieval, operation guides, step-by-step explanations, technical writing, and translation, while maintaining the warmer and more natural conversational style of GPT-5.1 Instant. Early testers specifically noted its clearer explanations, presenting key information from the outset.
- GPT-5.2 Thinking is designed for deeper work, helping users handle complex tasks with greater completion rates. It excels at coding, summarizing long documents, answering questions related to uploaded files, deriving mathematical and logical problems step-by-step, and supporting planning and decision-making with clearer structures and more useful details.
- GPT-5.2 Pro is the smartest and most reliable choice for tackling challenging problems, especially suitable for scenarios requiring high-quality answers. Early testing shows fewer major errors and superior performance in complex areas such as programming.
