OpenAI Updates ChatGPT Amid Battle for Knowledge Workers

OpenAI on Thursday announced the release of GPT-5.2, calling the artificial-intelligence model its most advanced for professional knowledge work.

The release comes about a week after Chief Executive Sam Altman declared a “code red” effort to improve the quality of ChatGPT and to delay development of some other initiatives, including advertising. The company has been on high alert from the rising threat of Google’s latest Gemini AI model, which outperformed ChatGPT on certain benchmarks including expert-level knowledge, logic puzzles, math problems and image recognition.
