GPT-5.2 Has Arrived. Practical Improvements for Real Work
I wanted to share a quick update that’s worth paying attention to if you use ChatGPT regularly. OpenAI has just released GPT-5.2, and it’s now live in ChatGPT as well as the API. A few highlights that stood out to me 👇 • Much stronger for real workGPT-5.2 Thinking is the first model to hit expert-level scores on OpenAI’s GDPval benchmark, which tests real professional tasks like writing documents, building spreadsheets, creating presentations, and problem-solving. • Fewer mistakesCompared to GPT-5.1, responses with errors were reduced by around 38%. That matters if you’re using ChatGPT for research, planning, writing, or decision-making rather than just casual questions. • Clearer model choicesYou’ll now see three main options: – Instant for fast answers, how-tos, and learning– Thinking for deeper reasoning, structured work, and complex tasks– Pro when accuracy matters more than speed • Big improvements for developers and agentsIf you build tools or workflows with AI, GPT-5.2 is much better at long-context understanding, tool calling, and completing multi-step tasks end-to-end. Overall, this feels like a meaningful step forward for people actually using ChatGPT to get things done, not just experiment. If you’ve already noticed differences when using ChatGPT today, I’d love to hear what you’re seeing.What feels better? What still feels the same? Cheers Jason
