Enterprise success requires structured outputs, reliable tool use, and guardrails.

GPT‑5.2 in Foundry delivers multi‑step logical chains, context‑aware planning across large inputs, agentic end‑to‑end execution, and enterprise safety/governance.

Two flavors: GPT-5.2 — the advanced reasoning model for harder problems, better information work, and polished spreadsheets/slides; GPT-5.2‑Chat — an efficient workhorse for info‑seeking, technical writing, learning, and career guidance.

GPT-5.2 introduces deeper logical chains, richer context handling, and agentic execution that prompts shippable artifacts: design docs, runnable code, unit tests, and deployment scripts produced with far fewer iterations.

OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 is now generally available in Microsoft Foundry — a frontier model series purpose-built for enterprise developers and technical leaders, setting a new standard for a new era of AI.
