Reasoning Strength
GPT-5.2 posts the highest GPQA score in our benchmark at 92.4%, edging out even Gemini 3.1 Pro (94.3% came later). This translates to better performance on tasks that require deep technical reasoning, understanding complex business logic, and multi-step problem solving.
Ecosystem Advantage
GPT-5.2 benefits from the broadest integration ecosystem of any model. It works natively in Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and hundreds of third-party tools. If your workflow depends on OpenAI-specific features, GPT-5.2 is a natural fit.
Coding Performance
With an 80.0% SWE-bench score and 1,521 Code Arena Elo, GPT-5.2 is solidly in the top tier for coding tasks. The 400K context window is the largest among non-Google models, useful for working with larger codebases.
Pricing
At $1.75/$14, GPT-5.2 offers strong value for its capability level. It is cheaper than both Claude models on input pricing while delivering competitive benchmark scores across the board.
