OpenAI launched GPT-5.2, an advanced model that enhances productivity in professional tasks like coding, document analysis, and visual interpretation. It outperforms previous versions and industry professionals on various benchmarks, making it suitable for complex workflows. Improvements include long-context reasoning and better handling of visual data.

The article reviews GPT-5.2, highlighting that while it has notable improvements in instruction-following and complex task handling, its performance is slower than expected. The author compares it to other models like Claude Opus 4.5 and Gemini 3, noting that it may not be the best choice for all use cases, especially in coding or when a more engaging personality is desired.
