OpenAI: GPT-5.2
Analysis Summary
OpenAI's GPT-5.2 is a general-purpose model with an intelligence index of 30.4, a 400K context window, and support for image and file input, tools, and function calling. The supplied data includes no coding or agentic index, so its specific strength on software engineering or multi-step tool reliability is not established by this entry.
The combination of multimodal input and substantial context makes it suitable for piloting document analysis, assistant workflows, and client content that benefits from strong general reasoning. Businesses should measure output quality and tool execution on their own tasks, especially for long documents, rather than assume that context capacity guarantees reliable recall. Its intelligence result indicates useful capability, but not frontier performance.
Pricing is $1.75 per million input tokens and $14 per million output tokens. Reserve it for tasks where quality matters more than lowest cost, and compare routine traffic against cheaper options.
