Yesterday (Dec 11, 2025), OpenAI unleashed GPT-5.2, the latest in its AI lineup, upping the game in coding, long-context understanding, and overall smarts. 🚀
According to a post on X, GPT-5.2 Instant, Thinking, and Pro editions are available now for Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise subscribers. Free and Go users will get access today.
Buzz around the office: in early December, CEO Sam Altman sounded an internal 'code red', pressing pause on side projects and rallying teams to fast-track GPT-5.2 – sparking whispers of a head-to-head with Google's Gemini 3.
With beefed-up general intelligence, sharper coding chops, and better recall over long conversations, GPT-5.2 promises to streamline tasks like creating spreadsheets, building presentations, and tackling multi-step projects – think of it as your new AI sidekick. 🤝
This update also tackles past hiccups – like being too picky about what it will respond to and speed bumps – so users get more accurate and faster answers.
Meanwhile, Google's Gemini 3, out since November, has been flexing top spots on AI benchmarks. But Altman told CNBC that Gemini 3 'has had less of an impact on our metrics than we feared', signaling confidence in OpenAI's roadmap.
Adding to the excitement, Disney is putting $1 billion into OpenAI, granting access to its Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel characters for the upcoming Sora AI video generator. Talk about a power-up! ✨
And for those still on GPT-5.1, GPT-5, or GPT-4.1, don't sweat it – OpenAI plans to keep them all alive in its API, giving you options to choose the right engine for your projects.
With back-to-back releases (GPT-5.1 dropped just last month), it is clear the AI race is on – and things are only heating up. Stay tuned! 🔥
