Episode notes
GPT-5.2 Reaches Expert-Level Knowledge Work
- GPT-5.2 achieves human-expert level on many real-world knowledge tasks, scoring ~71% on GDPVal benchmarks.
- OpenAI claims 5.2 is ~11x faster and <1% the cost of expert work when paired with oversight.
GDPVal Measures Real-World AI Value
- GDPVal tests measure AI performance on 1,300 real work tasks across 44 occupations with expert blind grading.
- These tasks replicate multi-step deliverables like briefs, blueprints, and spreadsheets to reflect economic value.
Better Accuracy Makes Models More Dependable
- GPT-5.2 reduces hallucinations and errors compared with 5.1, improving dependability for professionals.
- OpenAI frames this as enabling economic value and human oversight rather than explicit job replacement.
