"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declared a "code red" situation earlier this week, pushing staff to respond quickly to increased competition from Google and Anthropic. Sources familiar with OpenAI's plans tell me that the company is planning its first response to Gemini 3 with its upcoming GPT-5.2 update. I understand GPT-5.2 is ready to be released, and could appear as soon as early next week."
"The Information reported earlier this week that OpenAI's next reasoning model is "ahead of [Google's] Gemini 3" in OpenAI's internal evaluations, according to Altman. I'm told that OpenAI was originally planning to launch GPT-5.2 later in December, but that the pressure from competitors has moved the release forward. Right now, OpenAI has earmarked December 9th for its GPT-5.2 release. I reached out to OpenAI to comment on GPT-5.2, but the company didn't respond in time for publication."
Sam Altman declared a "code red" situation, directing staff to respond quickly to increased competition from Google and Anthropic. OpenAI plans GPT-5.2 as its first response to Google's Gemini 3. GPT-5.2 is ready and could appear as soon as early next week, with December 9 currently earmarked for release after competitive pressure moved the schedule earlier in December. Internal evaluations place GPT-5.2 ahead of Gemini 3. The release date may still shift because of development challenges, server capacity constraints, or rival AI announcements and leaks. OpenAI will prioritize ChatGPT speed, reliability, and customizability.
