**OpenAI Fires Back at Google with New Update of ChatGPT**
It’s been a while since we last heard from OpenAI, but now they’re back with a bang. The company has just released a new update of its AI model, GPT-5.2, which comes in three different variants tailored for various use cases. This comes after Google released its AI model Gemini 3, which OpenAI seems to have seen as a threat.
**GPT-5.2: Three Variants for Different Purposes**
GPT-5.2 comes in three different variants, each designed for a specific use case. Each variant has its own strengths and weaknesses, which we’ll dive into below.
* **Prompt**: This variant is ideal for quick answers, everyday questions, and simple tasks. If you’re looking for fast and precise responses, this variant is a great starting point.
* **Pondering**: This variant is designed for complex problem-solving, analysis, coding tasks, and long-context understanding. If you need a model that can handle more complex tasks, this variant is the way to go.
* **Professional**: This variant is developed for research, advanced technical analysis, and high-quality and precision. If you need a model that can handle advanced tasks, this variant is the best choice.
**Practical Improvements**
The new model series has significantly improved its performance on professional tasks, such as creating spreadsheets and presentations. Multimodal capabilities have been strengthened, allowing the model to process textual content, code, and images simultaneously, making it easier to, for example, debug code with the help of screenshots or analyze diagrams in documents.
Context understanding has been expanded to handle longer documents and conversations, with better memory management across multiple interactions. The model also provides more human-like and emotionally intelligent responses while producing less disinformation than previous versions.
**User Response**
A brief summary of popcorn conversations shows that users are mostly negative. Many think the model is too cautious, moralistic, and creatively stifling. Some users felt that the model was not creative enough and had too much need for classic answers. Most users discuss the most obvious benefits, such as
* Training and reducing catastrophic rhetoric
* Greater understanding and better efficiency
