After raising the “red alert” to deal with Google's competition, on December 11, local time, OpenAI launched GPT-5.2, which includes GPT-5.2 Instant, Thinking, and Pro modes. At this point, only one month has passed since OpenAI updated GPT-5.1. The release of GPT-5.2 is viewed by the outside world as OpenAI's response to Google's challenges. After Google released Gemini 3 last month, it sparked a redistribution of AI power in Silicon Valley, and OpenAI's position as the big model hegemon was challenged.
