OpenAI: GPT-5.2 Pro
Analysis Summary
GPT-5.2 Pro is positioned for demanding work and provides a 400K context window, multimodal input for images and files, tool use, and function calling. That combination is well suited to long-document analysis, complex project briefs, deep research workflows, and applications that need to coordinate external operations.
For an agency, the extended context could reduce document splitting and preserve more of a codebase, contract, or campaign archive in one task. Vision and file support also allow richer review of creative and operational material. However, the supplied record contains no direct benchmark results, leaving its reasoning, coding, and agentic reliability unconfirmed for this evaluation.
At $21 per million input tokens and $168 per million output tokens, it is difficult to justify for routine traffic. Reserve it for high-value tasks where context capacity and answer quality matter more than throughput cost.
