OpenAI on Thursday announced its most advanced artificial intelligence model, GPT-5.2, and said it’s the best offering yet for everyday professional use.
The model is better than predecessors at creating spreadsheets, building presentations, perceiving images, writing code and understanding long context, OpenAI said. It will be available starting Thursday within OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot and its application programming interface (API).
The announcement comes weeks after OpenAI launched its GPT-5.1 model. Rivals Anthropic and Google
also launched new models last month, prompting OpenAI to declare a “code red” effort to improve ChatGPT and sideline other projects.
It’s all part of a high-stakes battle among leading tech companies to create the most widely used model as consumers and businesses increasingly add AI into their daily lives and workflow. OpenAI is counting on its GPT family of models to define the future as the company seeks to justify its $500 billion valuation and over $1.4 trillion in planned spending.
