OpenAI to release GPT 5.2 next week

OpenAI has declared a “code red” and is pushing to release a new version of its model called GPT-5.2. It is expected to arrive very soon for users as a fast response to intense competition from Google’s Gemini 3.

Key Points: 

• Better Reasoning and Reliability: Internal tests show GPT-5.2 ahead of Gemini 3 in logic and problem-solving. It aims to respond faster and make fewer mistakes.

• Focus on the Main Model: Projects like ads inside ChatGPT and special shopping or health agents are paused while OpenAI prioritizes the core technology.

• Pressure from Google: The code red highlights how intense competition has become. Some rivals say they do not feel the same rush.

• Release Expected Soon: Reports suggest GPT-5.2 could be available as early as December 9, 2025.

• Mixed Reactions: Experts see potential benefits for users and companies, but warn that urgent decisions could lead to mistakes.

AI AND ETHICS

The New York Times is suing Perplexity for copyright infringement

The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against Perplexity AI, accusing the company of using its articles, videos, and podcasts without permission in AI-generated responses.

Details:

• Perplexity is accused of copying or closely summarizing Times articles, so users do not need to visit the original site.

• The Times says it previously warned Perplexity to stop, but the company continued using its work.

• The lawsuit asks for damages and a court order that prevents Perplexity from using Times content again.

• This is part of a larger fight between news publishers and AI companies over who controls and profits from journalism in the AI era.

• Experts believe the results of this case could set essential rules for how AI tools handle copyrighted news in the future.
