Recently, the developer community has been abuzz with rumors about GPT-5.2, sparking widespread attention and discussion. Screenshots show that the model dropdown menu in Cursor IDE now includes options for "gpt-5.2" and "gpt-5.2-thinking," suggesting that OpenAI's latest model is about to be launched. According to existing information, GPT-5.2 is not a simple version update but a completely restructured dedicated model designed to enhance performance in tasks such as programming and logical reasoning.

Some reports indicate that GPT-5.2 has significant advantages in long-range task execution, capable of understanding the architecture of an entire code repository and automatically synchronizing related files when making changes, with a very low error rate. This capability will help OpenAI gain a more favorable position in competition with Google.

Currently, the internal codename for GPT-5.2 is "Garlic," while the commercial name may be released as GPT-5.2 or GPT-5.5. According to the latest feedback and leaked project documents, GPT-5.2 is expected to introduce multiple major improvements, including enhanced mathematical and academic reasoning capabilities, improved processing speed and energy efficiency, as well as higher reliability and customizability. OpenAI hopes these innovations will make the user experience more personalized and efficient.

At the same time, OpenAI is also developing a larger model called "Shallotpeat," aimed at addressing issues encountered in current model training. This new model's development is intended to compete with Google's Gemini 3 in response to increasingly fierce market competition. OpenAI CEO Altman stated that in the face of Google's rapid progress in the AI field, OpenAI must accelerate its efforts to ensure continued leadership in this area.

Key Points:

🌟 GPT-5.2 is about to be released and is expected to surpass Gemini 3 in areas such as programming and logical reasoning.

🚀 The new model has strong long-range task execution capabilities and can automatically adjust multiple file references.

📈 OpenAI is simultaneously developing "Shallotpeat" to improve AI model training effectiveness and cope with market competition.
