On December 11, 2025, OpenAI released GPT 5.2, a powerful new artificial intelligence model built for professional use. The launch comes amid strong competition from Google’s Gemini 3. GPT 5.2 comes in different versions like Instant, Thinking and Pro, each designed for specific professional needs.
What’s New In OpenAI’s GPT 5.2?
Smarter Workplace Tasks
GPT 5.2 can do complex work that usually takes humans a lot of time. It can create spreadsheets, build presentations and manage projects. In one test, it handled a full travel booking scenario like rebooking flights, tracing luggage and managing medical seating requests (all in one go). This shows how the model can handle multiple steps automatically without constant human input.
Better Thinking And Understanding
This AI model is smarter at reasoning. It can process very large documents at once, thanks to its long-context system. It also decides when to give a quick answer or take more time to think deeply, depending on the task.
Excelling In Science And Math
It is especially strong in science and math. On the GPQA Diamond benchmark, it scored 93.2%. In FrontierMath tests, it solved 40.3% of expert-level math problems. Researchers even used GPT 5.2 to solve a statistical problem that had remained unsolved for years.
Vision And Coding Improvements
The AI can now read technical diagrams and interface elements in screenshots with high accuracy. For programmers, this means better coding support, debugging help and automated code generation.
Safer And More Reliable
OpenAI reports that GPT 5.2 Thinking has cut mistakes to 10.9%, dropping further to 5.8% with web access. The model also has new safety features for sensitive topics and can automatically protect users under 18.
GPT 5.2 Vs Google Gemini 3
In benchmarks, it scored 80% in coding tests against Gemini 3’s 76.2%. It also achieved a perfect 100% in AIME 2025 mathematics without tools. However, Gemini 3 remains slightly ahead in general knowledge reasoning.
Availability And Pricing
It is available to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users. Developers can access it via API at $1.75 per 1 million input tokens and $14 per 1 million output tokens. OpenAI positions GPT 5.2 as a step toward Artificial General Intelligence, offering smarter, more autonomous and human-like reasoning for professionals.
