Episode notes
GPT-5.2 Targets Real-World Professional Use
- GPT-5.2 is a measured iterative upgrade focused on professional, real-world tasks like spreadsheet and vision reasoning.
- It improves long-context handling and spatial reasoning without being a radical leap over GPT-5.1.
Long-Horizon Reasoning Changes Prompting
- GPT-5.2 can run long-horizon tasks, spending many minutes to an hour reasoning and producing complex outputs.
- That makes prompt clarity critical because the model may expend substantial compute before returning results.
Use Thinking Mode For Better Answers
- Turn on 'thinking' or the slower mode to avoid shallow instant answers when accuracy matters.
- Prefer explicit, detailed prompts for tasks that require sustained reasoning to reduce wasted compute.
