At the end of 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, marking a significant boost in the development of artificial intelligence. Normal users witnessed AI’s tangible existence, prompting a wave of thousands of new AI products to enter the market, all following OpenAI’s lead. Now, the company, headed by Sam Altman, has announced its newest and most advanced version.
What Sets GPT-5.2 Apart?
Artificial intelligence holds promise for improving efficiency, though there remains a considerable journey ahead. The OpenAI team appears to have made strides with version 5.2 on this path. It was recently introduced as a pioneering model for professional tasks, capable of extended, problem-free operations with advanced agent features.
Recent studies suggest that an average GPT user saves 40-60 minutes daily, equating to 10 hours weekly using this tool. The primary goal of the new version is to provide more economic value, with enhancements in several areas.
- Creating Excel spreadsheets.
- Preparing presentations.
- Writing code.
- Capturing images.
- Understanding long contexts.
- Using tools.
- Managing complex, multi-step projects.
Evaluations in multiple benchmarks, including GDPval, indicate improved performance over version 5.1. For instance, mathematical processing shows a performance increase exceeding 30%. GPT-5.2 Instant, Thinking, and Pro are now becoming available for paid plans on ChatGPT, and it is ready for all developers via the API.
Superior Human-like Performance
The standout feature of the model is its capability to function effectively in professional settings in thinking mode. OpenAI claims it is the best they’ve developed so far. GPT-5.2 Thinking achieved a new record score, becoming the first model to perform at or above human expert levels. This marks a significant milestone towards the dream of AI performing superior human tasks.

According to GDPval jury commentary, the quality of output shows an exciting leap, resembling work done by a professional company. Although there were minor corrections needed, the design and recommendations were exceptionally well-tailored.

The difference between the output of two models is evident above. AI is enabling a shift in efficiency for professionals, similar to how computers revolutionized accounting. By integrating AI into specific parts of their work, employees can significantly enhance their productivity, achieving weekly tasks in a matter of days.
The biggest issue with AI has been hallucinations, where new versions focus on improvements. Despite GPT-5.2’s hallucination rate dropping to 6.2% from 8.8% in version 5.1, ensuring accuracy still necessitates double-checking responses.
Finally, multi-agent capabilities make GPT-5.2 suitable for more complex tasks. Triple Whale’s CEO noted its transformative architecture, from a fragile multi-agent system to one mega-agent with over 20 tools. This system functions seamlessly, demonstrating substantial improvements in speed and efficiency.
If OpenAI becomes a quicker profit-generating entity with its rapid model development, the debate on the AI bubble may wane, bolstering growth in risk markets. New sales figures and revenue updates will be crucial, suggesting an increased adoption of model 5.2 by companies.
