OpenAI Launches GPT-5.2, Rolling Out to Paid ChatGPT Plans in Three Modes

OpenAI frames the release as a trust‑restoring step following a recent code red.

Overview

  • GPT-5.2 debuts with Instant, Thinking, and Pro variants that target speed, deep reasoning, and top‑quality professional outputs, respectively, with priority access for paid tiers.
  • OpenAI reports sizable gains over GPT-5.1 across benchmarks such as GPQA Diamond, AIME 2025, FrontierMath, and SWE‑Bench, and says hallucinations drop by roughly 30%–38%.
  • In GDPval tests, the Thinking variant is cited by OpenAI as matching or exceeding human professionals in 70.9% of tasks and outperforming Google’s Gemini 3 Pro in that measure.
  • Subscription pricing remains unchanged as GPT-5.2 rolls out gradually worldwide, with GPT-5.1 kept as a legacy option for about three months before retirement.
  • Early external reactions from AI practitioners are strongly positive, and local outlets report availability in multiple markets including Peru.
