Key Highlights
- OpenAI says that this new GPT model is particularly useful for "professional knowledge work." The company advertises how GPT-5.2 is better than previous models at making spreadsheets, putting together presentations, writing code, analyzing pictures, and working through multi-step projects.
- For this model, the company also gathered insights from tech companies: Supposedly, Notion, Box Shopify, Harvey, and Zoom all find GPT-5.2 to have "state-of-the-art long-horizon reasoning," while Databricks, Hex, and Triple Whale believe GPT-5.2 to be "exceptional" with both agentic data science and document analysis tasks.
- But most of OpenAI's user base aren't professionals.
- Most of the users who will interact with GPT-5.2 are using ChatGPT, and many of those for free, at that.
- What can those users expect when OpenAI upgrades the free version of ChatGPT with these new models?
