"Citing its own recent study of AI use at work, the company noted that AI saves the average worker up to an hour each day; GPT-5.2 appears designed to build on that significantly. "We designed GPT‑5.2 to unlock even more economic value for people; it's better at creating spreadsheets, building presentations, writing code, perceiving images, understanding long contexts, using tools, and handling complex, multi-step projects," the company wrote."
"OpenAI said GPT-5.2 "outperforms industry professionals at well-specified knowledge work tasks spanning 44 occupations." The report specifically called out GDPval, an in-house benchmark the company released in September that tries to measure the economic value AI models produce. It does so by evaluating how models approach 1,320 tasks commonly linked to 44 jobs across nine industries that contribute more than 5% to the US gross domestic product (GDP)."
OpenAI released GPT-5.2 as a model series targeted at professional knowledge work, claiming substantial productivity gains and improved task capabilities. The model reportedly excels at spreadsheets, presentations, code generation, image perception, handling long contexts, using external tools, and complex multi-step projects. OpenAI states GPT-5.2 outperforms industry professionals on well-specified knowledge tasks across 44 occupations and measured performance using GDPval across 1,320 tasks tied to nine major industries. The release was reportedly fast-tracked in response to competitive models from Google and Anthropic. Ziff Davis filed an April 2025 lawsuit alleging OpenAI used copyrighted material in training and operating its systems.
