OpenAI just dropped GPT-5.2, and it's their most focused release yet. No AGI promises this time—just real improvements for professional work. In this final episode of 2025, I break down what actually matters about this release.
You'll learn about the three model versions (Instant, Thinking, and Pro Extended Thinking), massive context window upgrades, and genuine breakthroughs in spreadsheets and presentations. I also cover what still lags behind—speed issues, writing quality versus Claude, and where hallucinations still creep in.
Join me for the last In The Loop episode of the year.
