OpenAI releases GPT-5.2 to fully counterattack Alphabet Inc. Class C (GOOG.US, GOOGL.US) Gemini 3 and accelerate the seizing of the enterprise AI market.

After the highly acclaimed launch of Gemini 3 by Alphabet Inc. Class C (GOOG.US, GOOGL.US) and just a few weeks after OpenAI received a positive challenge, this AI unicorn quickly responded with a powerful new artificial intelligence model, GPT-5.2, officially launched to enhance ChatGPT's capabilities in programming, scientific research, and complex tasks. OpenAI stated that GPT-5.2 is faster, more precise in information retrieval, and has significant improvements in writing and translation. The new model is divided into three versions, enhancing the ability to simulate human reasoning processes, aimed at handling more complex and time-consuming tasks in math, science, programming, etc. With Alphabet Inc. Class C and Anthropic launching new models in the past few weeks, OpenAI's leading position in AI competition has faced unprecedented challenges. Especially with Alphabet Inc. Class C's Gemini 3, which quickly topped several authoritative industry rankings due to its outstanding reasoning and encoding performance, including LMArena and Humanity's Last Exam. Facing competitive pressure, OpenAI CEO Ultron announced a "code red" in an internal memo earlier this month, urging all departments of the company to concentrate resources and accelerate the iteration upgrade of ChatGPT. With the launch of GPT-5.2, OpenAI hopes to attract more corporate clients and increase revenue to support its infrastructure investment plan of over $1 trillion in the next few decades. The company stated that the new model has significantly enhanced capabilities in handling Excel spreadsheets, creating presentations, writing code, with the goal of "creating higher economic value for users." GPT-5.2 started rolling out to paid users on Thursday. In August of this year, OpenAI launched the highly anticipated GPT-5, but market reviews were mixed, with some users believing that its improvements were not as expected. Subsequently, the more powerful Gemini 3 stole the spotlight from GPT-5.1, launched in November. Ultron stated in an interview yesterday that "the impact of Gemini 3 on our metrics was lower than expected," and he expects OpenAI to "come out of the code red mode in a very strong manner by January next year." On the same day, OpenAI also announced that they have started rolling out software that can predict the age of users in order to better manage how ChatGPT presents content to minors. Fidji Simo, Head of OpenAI's Application Department, stated that the company plans to launch the highly anticipated "adult mode" next year.
