OpenAI fires back at Google with GPT-5.2 after 'code red' memo | TechCrunch
"OpenAI's GPT-5.2 is coming to ChatGPT paid users and developers via the API in three flavors: Instant, a speed-optimized model for routine queries like information-seeking, writing, and translation; Thinking, which excels at complex structured work like coding, analyzing long documents, math, and planning; and Pro, the top-end model aimed at delivering maximum accuracy and reliability for difficult problems."
""We designed 5.2 to unlock even more economic value for people," Fidji Simo, OpenAI's chief product officer, said Thursday during a briefing with journalists. "It's better at creating spreadsheets, building presentations, writing code, perceiving images, understanding long context, using tools and then linking complex, multi-step projects.""
"GPT-5.2 lands in the middle of an arms race with Google's Gemini 3, which is topping LMArena's leaderboard across most benchmarks (apart from coding - which Anthropic's Claude Opus-4.5 still has on lock)."
OpenAI released GPT-5.2 in three variants — Instant, Thinking, and Pro — for ChatGPT paid users and API developers. Instant focuses on speed for routine queries such as information-seeking, writing, and translation. Thinking targets complex structured tasks including coding, long-document analysis, math, and planning. Pro prioritizes maximum accuracy and reliability for the most difficult problems. The model improves spreadsheet creation, presentation building, code writing, image perception, long-context understanding, tool use, and linking multi-step projects. GPT-5.2 is positioned amid competition from Google's Gemini 3 and aims to drive developer and enterprise adoption.
