GPT-5.2 is the newest generation in the GPT-5 family of models from OpenAI, released on December 11, 2025. It’s designed to be significantly more powerful and reliable than previous versions — especially for professional knowledge work, long-context reasoning, tool use, and complex multimodal tasks.

1. Stronger General Intelligence
GPT-5.2 achieves higher performance across benchmarks compared with earlier models. It sets new state-of-the-art scores on evaluations such as GDPval, which measures real-world knowledge work tasks across many professions. (OpenAI)
2. Better at Complex, Multi-Step Workflows
The model excels at:
3. Long Context & Document Understanding
GPT-5.2 offers improved long-context comprehension, enabling it to process and reason over documents with hundreds of thousands of tokens while maintaining coherence. (OpenAI)
4. Enhanced Vision Capabilities
The model shows better performance on image reasoning tasks — such as interpreting screenshots, diagrams, and charts — making it more useful for visual workflows. (OpenAI)
5. Agentic Tool Calling
GPT-5.2 improves how it works with tools — such as plug-ins and API actions — meaning it can coordinate multi-step operations more reliably and build “agents” that accomplish real tasks end to end. (OpenAI)
6. Performance and Reliability Gains
Compared with GPT-5.1, GPT-5.2 delivers:
GPT-5.2 is available in multiple configurations within ChatGPT — including Instant, Thinking, and Pro — with roll-out starting on paid tiers (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise). Developers can already access GPT-5.2 through the API. (OpenAI)
GPT-5.2’s internal evaluations show substantial gains:
GPT-5.2 is especially strong for:
✅ Complex reasoning
✅ Professional productivity tools
✅ Coding and debugging
✅ Document analysis & summarization
✅ Visual understanding
✅ Tool-based agent workflows
These improvements make it particularly compelling for enterprise, research, and advanced developer applications. (Databricks)
