OpenAI releases GPT-5.2 AI model after code red memo targets Google's Gemini 3 threat
OpenAI launched GPT-5.2 on Thursday in three versions—Instant, Thinking, and Pro—following CEO Sam Altman's internal code red directive earlier this month. The release responds to competitive pressure from Google's Gemini 3, which has been topping AI benchmarks and gaining market share. OpenAI claims GPT-5.2 delivers enhanced performance across writing, coding, and reasoning tasks, with 38 percent fewer hallucinations than its predecessor.
