OpenAI has introduced its latest artificial intelligence model, GPT‑5.2, after CEO Sam Altman declared a “code red” to speed up development. The move comes as Google’s Gemini 3 poses strong competition in the AI space.
GPT‑5.2 comes in three versions, Instant, Thinking, and Pro, designed for tasks ranging from quick answers to complex reasoning and coding. OpenAI says the new model is faster, smarter, and more accurate than earlier versions. It can help with tasks like building spreadsheets, creating presentations, writing code, and managing multi-step projects.
The new model also performs better in tests that measure reasoning and problem-solving skills. It will be available first to paid ChatGPT users and developers via API, while older versions will remain accessible for some time.
OpenAI’s fast rollout follows Gemini 3 outperforming previous OpenAI models on some benchmarks, but the company noted that much of GPT‑5.2 had been in development for months.
In a related development, Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI and will allow its characters from Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel to be used in new AI tools.
