OpenAI just launched GPT-5.2, a frontier model aimed at developers and professionals, pushing reasoning and coding benchmarks as it races Google’s Gemini 3 while grappling with compute costs and no generator.

On Thursday, OpenAI released GPT-5.2, its newest family of AI models for ChatGPT, in three versions called Instant, Thinking, and Pro. The release follows CEO Sam Altman’s internal “code red” memo earlier this month, which directed company resources toward improving ChatGPT in response to competitive pressure from Google’s Gemini 3 AI model.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman issued a "code red" effort in his company to improve the quality of ChatGPT, and as a result, delaying other products, a report said.
