OpenAI has released its latest and most advanced model, GPT-5.2, which showcases impressive capabilities across a wide range of tasks. The video begins with demonstrations of GPT-5.2 handling complex prompts, such as creating a realistic visual simulation of a beehive construction with interactive sliders for colony size and resource availability. The model produces accurate and visually appealing animations that outperform previous versions and competitors like Gemini 3 Pro. It also impressively builds a fully functional Photoshop clone with layers, brushes, filters, and blending modes, all working seamlessly out of the box, surpassing other leading AI models in feature completeness and usability.

Further tests highlight GPT-5.2’s strength in 3D rendering and simulation tasks. It successfully generates a detailed 3D scene inspired by an image using the 3JS library and creates a sophisticated simulation of two metallic spheres with physically accurate reflections between them—something no other AI model has achieved so far. The model also builds a functional Windows 11 clone with working versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, demonstrating its ability to handle complex multi-application environments. These demos emphasize GPT-5.2’s advanced coding skills and its capacity to produce highly interactive and realistic applications from scratch.

The video also explores GPT-5.2’s multimodal capabilities, including image recognition and analysis. The model accurately labels characters in an anime image and performs a challenging “find Waldo” task by scanning and analyzing the image in detail, ultimately identifying Waldo correctly after extensive processing. It also tackles complex OCR tasks, such as converting complicated tables and flowcharts into editable spreadsheets and interactive canvases, respectively. While it struggles with some medical image analysis and locating a hidden frog in a photo, GPT-5.2 still shows notable progress compared to other models, especially in geo-guessing the location of a photo with reasonable accuracy.

In terms of benchmarks and performance, GPT-5.2 is positioned as a state-of-the-art model, particularly excelling in professional knowledge work and coding tasks. It outperforms human experts over 50% of the time on the GDP Val benchmark, which tests real-world job tasks across multiple industries. The model also scores highly on reasoning and pattern recognition benchmarks like ARC AGI2, demonstrating its ability to learn new patterns from data. However, some independent leaderboards show mixed results, with GPT-5.2 ranking lower in common sense tasks and OCR compared to competitors. Its knowledge cutoff is August 2025, making it one of the most up-to-date models available, though it is currently only accessible through paid plans.

Overall, GPT-5.2 is a highly capable and versatile AI model that pushes the boundaries of what AI can achieve in coding, multimodal understanding, and professional applications. While it is roughly on par with Gemini 3 Pro in many respects, it excels in certain areas like coding and complex simulations. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to explore GPT-5.2’s capabilities themselves and stay informed about ongoing AI developments through the creator’s newsletter. The rapid advancements in AI models like GPT-5.2 highlight the transformative potential of AI in various industries and everyday tasks.
