I've benchmarked it on the Extended NYT Connections benchmark ( https://github.com/lechmazur/nyt-connections/ ): The high-reasoning version of GPT-5.2 improves on GPT-5.1: 69.9 → 77.9. The medium-reasoning version also improves: 62.7 → 72.1. The no-reasoning version also improves: 22.1 → 27.5. Gemini 3 Pro and Grok 4.1 Fast Reasoning still score higher.

I would like to see a cost per percent or so row. I feel like grok would beat them all

They used to compare to competing models from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, DeepSeek, etc. Seems that now they only compare to their own models. Does this mean that the GPT-series is performing worse than its competitors (given the "code red" at OpenAI)?

They did compare it to other models: https://x.com/OpenAI/status/1999182104362668275 https://i.imgur.com/e0iB8KC.png

The fact that the post is comparing their reasoning model against gemini 3 pro (the "non reasoning" model) and not gemini 3 pro deep think (the reasoning one) is quite nasty. If you compare GPT5.2 thinking to gemini 3 pro deep think, the scores are quite similar (sometimes one is better sometimes the other one is)

Looks like they've begun censoring posts at r/Codex and not allowing complaint threads so here is my honest take: - It is faster which is appreciated but not as fast as Opus 4.5 - I see no changes, very little noticeable improvements over 5.1 - I do not see any value in exchange for +40% in token costs All in all I can't help but feel that OpenAI is facing an existential crisis. Gemini 3 even when its used from AI St…

I’m curious about if the model has gotten more consistent throughout the full context window? It’s something that OpenAI touted in the release, and I’m curious if it will make a difference for long running tasks or big code reviews.

Is it me, or did it still get at least three placements of components (RAM and PCIe slots, plus it's DisplayPort and not HDMI) in the motherboard image[0] completely wrong? Why would they use that as a promotional image? 0: https://images.ctfassets.net/kftzwdyauwt9/6lyujQxhZDnOMruN3f...

Yep, the point we wanted to make here is that GPT-5.2's vision is better, not perfect. Cherrypicking a perfect output would actually mislead readers, and that wasn't our intent.

I suppose this is as good a place as any to mention this. I've now met two different devs who complained about the weird responses from their LLM of choice, and it turned out they were using a single session for everything. From recipes for the night, presents for the wife and then into programming issues the next day. Don't do that. The whole context is sent on queries to the LLM, so start a new chat for each topic.…

I know I sound like a snob but I’ve had many moments with Gen AI tools over the years that made me wonder: I wonder what these tools are like for someone who doesn’t know how LLMs work under the hood? It’s probably completely bizarre? Apps like Cursor or ChatGPT would be incomprehensible to me as a user, I feel.

Most non tech people I talked with don't care at all about LLMs.

They also are not impressed at all ("Okay, that's like google and internet").

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why no grok 4.1 reasoning?

Do people other than Elon fans use grok? Honest question. I've never tried it.

I use a few AIs together to examine the same code base. I find Grok better than some of the Chinese ones I've used, but it isn't in the same league as Claude or Codex.

I work at the intersection of AI and investing, and I'm really amazed at the ability of this model to build spreadsheets.

I gave it a few tools to access sec filings (and a small local vector database), and it's generating full fledged spreadsheets with valid, real time data. Analysts in wallstreet are going to get really empowered, but for the first time, I'm really glad that retail investors are also getting these models.

Just put out the tool: https://github.com/ralliesai/tenk

Here's a nice parsing of all the important financials from an SEC report. This used to be really hard a few years ago.
