OpenAI Fires Back at Google with Launch of GPT-5.2 Models

San Francisco, December 12, 2025 – OpenAI has unveiled its latest artificial intelligence models, GPT-5.2 Pro and GPT-5.2 Thinking, in a move seen as a direct response to Google’s recent advancements in the AI race. The San Francisco-based company is touting the new models as superior in handling complex mathematical and scientific tasks, key components for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), a long-sought goal in the tech industry.

The launch comes amid growing pressure on OpenAI to demonstrate profitability after heavy investments in computing infrastructure. CEO Sam Altman remains optimistic, stating that revenue growth will support these expenses.

The release of GPT-5.2 follows closely on the heels of Google’s Gemini 3 Pro, which had recently surpassed OpenAI’s previous ChatGPT 5.1 model in some benchmark tests, including multimodal tasks and data reasoning. Early user tests suggest GPT-5.2 shows improved sophistication over its predecessor, but it remains to be seen if it will overtake Google’s Gemini 3 as the leading AI chatbot. The AI chatbot competition is especially important in India as the world’s second largest internet market.

OpenAI is also addressing concerns surrounding the safety and responsible use of its technology. Chief of Applications Fidji Simo announced plans to introduce a ChatGPT “adult mode” early next year, emphasizing the company’s commitment to improving age detection. The company also faces ongoing legal challenges related to potential harm caused by AI interactions, particularly among younger users.

Google last month released its latest Gemini AI model, capping a dramatic turnaround since it was caught off guard by ChatGPT’s launch three years ago and mocked for early blunders in its chase of OpenAI.
