OpenAI
GPT-5 Pro is an extended-reasoning variant from the GPT-5 family that applies more compute per response for deeper, more thorough answers on complex problems. It features the same 400K token context window and multimodal capabilities as GPT-5, with additional reasoning depth suited to research-grade analysis, advanced coding, and tasks requiring comprehensive, accurate outputs.
OpenAI
GPT-5.2, released by OpenAI on December 11, 2025, is a large language model from the GPT-5 family that improves on GPT-5 in general intelligence, long-context understanding, agentic tool-calling, and vision. It features a 400K token context window, 128K maximum output tokens, and a knowledge cutoff of August 2025. GPT-5.2 targets long-context coding tasks, extended document analysis, and complex agentic workflows requiring reliable instruction following.
