Marginal gains for exorbitantly pricey and closed model…..
tabletcorry•31m ago
Slight increase in model cost, but looks like benefits across the board to match.

  gpt-5.2 $1.75 $0.175 $14.00
  gpt-5.1 $1.25 $0.125 $10.00

They probably just beefed up compute run time on the what is the same underlying model

When they are able to cut their TAM wafers and pit them to use, will also start to drive prices down, assuming it will help training speed

40% increase is not "slight."

This seems like another "better vibes" release. With the number of benchmarks exploding, random luck means you can almost always find a couple showing what you want to show. I didn't see much concrete evidence this was noticeably better than 5.1 (or even 5.0).

Being a point release though I guess that's fair. I suspect there is also some decent optimizations on the backend that make it cheaper and faster for OpenAI to run, and those are the real reasons they want us to use it.

Did you test it?

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)?
poormathskills•24m ago
OpenAI has never compared their models to models from other labs in their blog post. Open literally any past model launch post to see that.
tabletcorry•22m ago
The matrix required for a fair comparison is getting too complicated, since you have to compare chat/thinking/pro against an array of Anthropic and Google models.

But they publish all the same numbers, so you can make the full comparison yourself, if you want to.

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

Is this another GPT-4.5?
breakingcups•17m ago
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?

Also a "stacked pair" of USB type-A ports, when there are clearly 4
tedsanders•11m ago
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.

Pricing is the same?
tedsanders•8m ago
ChatGPT pricing is the same. API pricing is +40% per token, though greater token efficiency means that cost per task is not always that much higher. On some agentic evals we actually saw costs per task go down with GPT-5.2. It really depends on the task though; your mileage may vary.

paging @dang for merging

Funny that, their front page demo has a mistake. For the waves simulation, the user asks:

>- The UI should be calming and realistic.

Yet what it did is make a sleek frosted glass UI with rounded edges. What it should have done is call a wellness check on the user on suspicion of a co2 leak leading to delirium.
