After OpenAI's "Red Alert" last week, rumors were they already had new models nearly ready to go to try to take back the top spot in AI. A couple days late, people were expecting Tuesday, but today OpenAI started rolling out GPT 5.2 Auto, Instant, Thinking, and Pro versions. I can't imagine it's a huge upgrade from 5.1 but it may be enough to push them closer to the top of the leaderboards again. But if you have a subscription you can test it out today, and it should roll out for free tomorrow: https://x.com/OpenAI/status/1999182100159955419
