OpenAI is rushing out GPT-5.2 earlier than planned, targeting a potential December 9, 2025 release after declaring an internal “code red.”
The accelerated schedule comes in direct response to Google’s Gemini 3 setting new performance benchmarks, prompting OpenAI to prioritise speed, stability, and reasoning improvements over other projects.
Internal tests reportedly show GPT-5.2 outperforming Gemini 3 in several reasoning tasks, raising expectations that the update could help OpenAI regain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
