How to use GPT-5.2
- In ChatGPT use GPT-5.2: GPT-5.2 has begun rolling out today to paid users (including the Plus, Pro, Go, Business, and Enterprise plans), covering the three versions Instant, Thinking, and Pro. To ensure smoothness and stability, the deployment will be carried out in phases, and some users may not be able to use it immediately for the time being. During this period, paid users can still continue to use GPT-5.1 (legacy mode) for three months, after which GPT-5.1 will be gradually retired. Users can choose the version that suits their needs.
- Using GPT-5.2 on the API platform: On the OpenAI API platform, all three versions of GPT-5.2 are fully available, with the specific names: GPT-5.2 Instant (
gpt-5.2-chat-latest)、GPT-5.2 Thinking(gpt-5.2) and GPT-5.2 Pro (gpt-5.2-pro). Developers can set reasoning parameters in GPT-5.2 Pro. Both GPT-5.2 Pro and GPT-5.2 Thinking support the new fifth-level reasoning effortxhigh, suitable for tasks with extremely high quality requirements. Through the API, users can flexibly integrate the powerful capabilities of GPT-5.2 to meet the needs of complex application scenarios.
