How to try GPT-5.2, the new ChatGPT model series from OpenAI
OpenAI has announced its launching GPT-5.2 effective immediately, with access rolling out in phases starting Dec. 11.
This is the second major update to GPT-5, the long-awaited OpenAI model that launched on Aug. 7.
In a blog post announcing the new series of ChatGPT models, the company called GPT-5.2 the "most capable model series yet for professional knowledge work."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.GPT-5.2 is actually a series of models; the series itself is part of the larger GPT-5 series. Here's what we're looking at:
GPT-5.2 Instant
GPT-5.2 Thinking
GPT-5.2 Pro
With a Dec. 11 release date, GPT-5.2 is available now — though not all users will see it listed as an available model in ChatGPT.
As with previous model rollouts, OpenAI will first deploy the model to paid users on Plus, Pro, Go, Business, and Enterprise plans.
Even for paying customers, OpenAI tends to make its new models available in phases — so if it's not available immediately via the OpenAI API or ChatGPT, keep checking.
"We deploy GPT‑5.2 gradually to keep ChatGPT as smooth and reliable as we can," the company wrote. "If you don’t see it at first, please try again later. In ChatGPT, GPT‑5.1 will still be available to paid users for three months under legacy models, after which we will sunset GPT‑5.1."
If you have a paid ChatGPT account, go to ChatGPT.com to see if the model is available. Eventually, all ChatGPT users should have free access to GPT-5.2, though that access will be limited on free membership plans.
GPT-5.2 benchmarks and performanceOpenAI published a new system card that shows GPT-5.2 makes iterative improvements on key benchmarks compared to GPT-5 and 5.1. In addition, OpenAI said that GPT-5.2 hallucinates less than previous models.
GDPval: GPT-5.2 scored 70.9 percent, while GPT-5 scored 38.8 percent
SWE-Bench Pro: GPT-5.2 scored 55.6 percent, while GPT-5 scored 50.8 percent
AIME 2025 math: GPT-5.2 scored 100 percent, while GPT-5 scored 94 percent
FrontierMath (Tier 1–3): GPT-5.2 scored 40.3 percent, while GPT-5 scored 31.0 percent
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
OpenAI launches GPT-5.2, claiming it hallucinates less and responds better to mental illness
OpenAI announced today that it's launching GPT-5.2, the newest model in its GPT-5 series. The new model will start rolling out immediately, with paid ChatGPT customers getting access first.
In a blog post announcing the new model — which is actually a series of models, comprised of GPT‑5.2 Instant, GPT-5.2 Thinking, and GPT-5.2 Pro — OpenAI said that GPT-5.2 makes noticeable improvements in math and science, imaging, coding, handling agentic tasks, and overall accuracy. The company called GPT-5.2 its "most capable model series yet for professional knowledge work."
The new model comes at a difficult time for OpenAI, which is rumored to be in a "code red" state over stronger competition from rivals like Google Gemini and spreading fears of an AI bubble.
Ever since it launched ChatGPT in 2022, OpenAI has been securely on top of the AI industry. However, the company is in an increasingly precarious position. Google has an almost unfathomable amount of training data at its disposal, and Google AI products like Gemini 3, Veo 3, and Nano Banana have outperformed GPT-5, the new model OpenAI launched earlier this year, in many respects.
Still, ChatGPT is by far the most popular AI chatbot in the world, with an estimated 700 million weekly active users.
How to try GPT-5.2The new GPT-5.2 models will start rolling out immediately, though access may not be available right away to all users. As per usual, OpenAI will launch the models to paid users on the Plus, Pro, Go, Business, and Enterprise accounts.
As of this writing, GPT-5.2 was not yet available for this reporter, and the rollout will likely happen in phases.
"We deploy GPT‑5.2 gradually to keep ChatGPT as smooth and reliable as we can; if you don’t see it at first, please try again later," OpenAI wrote in a blog post. "In ChatGPT, GPT‑5.1 will still be available to paid users for three months under legacy models, after which we will sunset GPT‑5.1."
OpenAI says GPT-5.2 makes key improvements in safety, accuracy, and performance benchmarksThe AI industry relies on standardized benchmark tests to demonstrate how well models perform, and companies like OpenAI also have their own internal tests. In addition, AI leaderboards like LMArena let users compare and rank various AI models. While GPT-5.2 has already appeared near the top of LMArena's AI coding leaderboard, it will take more time to see how users rate the new series of models against the competition. However, OpenAI released a new model card for GPT-5.2 on Dec. 11, which shows that the model makes across-the-board improvements in a variety of areas, which isn't surprising.
Most notably, OpenAI says that GPT-5.2 is more accurate and will produce fewer hallucinations compared to GPT-5.1. OpenAI's documentation states that GPT-5.2 Thinking has an average hallucination rate of 10.9 percent, compared to 16.8 percent and 12.7 percent for GPT-5 Thinking and GPT-5.1 Thinking, respectively. When GPT-5.2 is given access to the web via a browser, its hallucination rate drops to 5.8 percent.
In its blog post, OpenAI also states that GPT-5.2 scores more highly on benchmark tests for coding, science and math, performing economically valuable tasks, computer vision, and agentic work involving third-party tools. OpenAI also highlighted GPT-5.2's improved abilities with spreadsheets, in particular.
OpenAI says GPT-5.2 is safer for users with mental health problemsLately, OpenAI has been accused of endangering ChatGPT users with mental health issues. Due to well-documented sycophancy problems, ChatGPT reportedly encouraged delusions and conspiratorial thinking on some users, who later died by suicide. OpenAI is now facing wrongful death suits, including a new suit that was just revealed for the first time today by the Wall Street Journal, in which a ChatGPT user killed himself shortly after killing his own mother.
OpenAI says that according to its internal tests, GPT-5.2 has a better response to users with mental health problems.
"With this release, we continued our work to strengthen our models’ responses in sensitive conversations, with meaningful improvements in how they respond to prompts indicating signs of suicide or self harm, mental health distress, or emotional reliance on the model. These targeted interventions have resulted in fewer undesirable responses in both GPT‑5.2 Instant and GPT‑5.2 Thinking as compared to GPT‑5.1 and GPT‑5 Instant and Thinking models."
Mashable has not been able to independently verify these results, and the GPT-5.2 system card has scant details on how safety performance was measured in this context.

Solar generators (aka portable power stations) can be a real lifesaver in many circumstances. Maybe you have a camping trip coming up, but you still need to access your computer for work. Or maybe you live in an area prone to power outages. In any case, having immediate access to one of these gadgets can keep you up and running. They're not the cheapest investments, so when you find a deal — like this Bluetti Elite 200 V2 bundle — it's worth grabbing.
As of Dec. 11, you can pick up the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 solar generator along with two 200W solar panels for only $1,299 at Amazon. That's 43% or $1,000 in savings. That's also cheaper than buying just the solar generator on its own at full price (reg. $1,699).
The Elite 200 V2 packs a 2,073Wh-capacity battery with a 2,600W (3,900W Power Lifting) AC output. That's enough to power nine devices simultaneously via four AC outlets, two 15W USB-A ports, two 100W USB-C ports, and a 120W car port. Meanwhile, it weighs just over 50 pounds and is the size of a small cooler. It's hefty, but still small enough to fit snugly in a corner of your home or portable enough to take on camping trips, tailgates, and other off-grid adventures.
The power station itself can be charged up via a typical AC outlet, with a car port, or with solar power. This bundle includes two 200W solar panels, so you'll be all set. With a 17-year lifespan, it's a smart long-term investment for your home and adventures. And knowing it will last so long definitely makes the price more justified. Save $1,000 while this deal is live.
Android now lets you share live video on emergency calls
Android users can now share live video of their environment while reaching out for emergency services, providing more context and assistance in potentially dire situations.
Launched on Wednesday, Emergency Live Video on Android lets emergency dispatchers request a live video feed while talking to a person who may be in danger. When initiated, callers are prompted with a single-tap button on their screen, which then provides a live video feed to dispatchers who can assess the environment or provide more specific medical assistance, like CPR instructions.
SEE ALSO: People negatively judge others who glitch on video calls, according to studyA Google blog post states that the resource works for both emergency calls and texts, and the footage is encrypted by default. The company also says it is looking to partner with global public safety organizations to expand the feature's reach.
Google has launched a variety of emergency safety features across its Android devices, including crash and fall detection, Emergency SOS, and satellite-based services. With the most recent Android 16, Google also added new accessibility features, parental controls, and the ability to mark communications as urgent.
Emergency Live Video has already rolled out to U.S. devices and emergency service calls in select regions of Germany and Mexico. In order to use the feature, devices must be running Android 8+ with Google Play services.
South Park closes Season 28 with a horrifying Jeffrey Epstein twist
Most Christmas specials don't feature President Donald Trump giving Vice President JD Vance genital warts, Jesus Christ committing domestic violence, and Satan mpreg. But then again, most Christmas specials aren't South Park.
The show's Season 28 finale doubled as its holiday special, which meant creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone had to wrap up all of Season 27 and 28's fittingly unhinged Trump critiques in a neat Christmas bow.
SEE ALSO: 'South Park' creators have the most deadpan response to Trump episode controversyMost pressingly, South Park had to conclude the tale of Satan and Trump's baby. As the episode starts, Satan is almost due and busy decorating the White House for the Antichrist's impending arrival. However, when he learns that Trump and Vance have absconded to Colorado in order to free Peter Thiel from jail and kill the Antichrist, Satan joins them in South Park to give him a piece of his mind.
What follows is a showdown where Jesus, Stan, and the Satanic Woodland Critters from South Park's Season 8 Christmas special square off against Trump, Vance, Peter Thiel, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and dirtbag Jesus. Due to Stan's pleas for a Christmas miracle, Jesus recognizes the error of his ways and drops his allegiance to Trump.
Don’t miss out on our latest stories: Add Mashable as a trusted news source in Google.
While that marks a happy ending for one of Season 28's most upsetting storylines — that of Jesus embracing a conservative, hateful version of Christianity — the same can't be said for the Antichrist storyline. Here, South Park goes as dark as it possibly can.
What happens to Trump and Satan's baby in South Park?Satan never gives birth to the Antichrist. Instead, according to an ultrasound, the baby appears to have died by suicide in the womb.
"It appears that at some point when nobody was watching, the baby hung itself and took its own life," a doctor tells Trump. He then shows him the ultrasound, saying, "I’m afraid you can see it all in the video. The baby got hold of some bedsheets. There are a couple of minutes missing from the ultrasound, but it’s definitely a suicide."
The death is a reference to that of Jeffrey Epstein, who hanged himself with bedsheets in his cell at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center while awaiting trial for federal sex trafficking charges. Just like with the ultrasound in South Park, there is missing footage from security cameras outside Epstein's cell on the night of his death, leading to theories that Epstein did not die by suicide.
Trump celebrates the death of the Antichrist at his holiday party, dancing around figures like Apple CEO Tim Cook and Attorney General Pam Bondi, both of whom played roles in South Park Seasons 27 and 28. Satan, for his part, packs up all of his baby supplies and leaves the White House. It's a genuinely sobering moment in an episode packed with madcap shock value, including the darkly horrifying Epstein twist.
With that, South Park wishes us a Merry Christmas and closes out a two-season run that angered the White House, drew ratings highs, and managed to combine memes like 6-7 and Labubus with real-world atrocities like the Trump administration's ICE raids.
South Park is now streaming on Paramount+.

Supergirl teaser trailer delivers party vibes, action, and attitude
James Gunn's relaunch of the DC Universe is looking up. Following the box office success of Superman, this resurging superhero franchise is next offering Supergirl, a flashy spinoff that's giving Guardians of the Galaxy energy with this first trailer.
Maybe it's Blondie blasting "Call Me" across footage of Supergirl partying and crashing alongside her lovable superpup, Krypto. Maybe it's the collision of outer space shenanigans, rock 'n' roll, and eye-popping action. But we are seated to see House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock reprise the role of Kara, Superman's enchantingly chaotic cousin.
Based on the comic mini-series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, written by Tom King and illustrated by Bilquis Evely, this movie will follow Kara on her party odyssey, which crashes into a quest to help an alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley) seek justice.
Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya, Cruella) directs Supergirl, with a screenplay by Ana Nogueira. Joining Alcock and Ridley in the superhero action are Matthias Schoenaerts, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa, who is not playing Aquaman here. Nearly a year ago, Momoa announced on Instagram he'd been asked to play Lobo, a hulking anti-hero who works as an interstellar bounty hunter.
What else can you glean from this teaser? Sound off in the comments.
Supergirl opens only in theaters June 26, 2026.

Internet reacts to architects of AI being named Times 2025 Person of the Year
Although it leaked online before the announcement, Time magazine made its 2025 Person of the Year official on Thursday morning: It's the "architects of AI."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Time magazine's official cover(s) for the 2025 Person of the Year edition include Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, AMD CEO Lisa Su, Tesla and xAI CEO Elon Musk, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and the "godmother of AI" Fei-Fei Li.
However, Time's accolade arrives as Generative AI faces increasing blowback over concerns about privacy and inaccuracies, its environmental impact, mass production of slop, and copyright issues. Still, more companies have started using AI for creative works, such as commercials. Coca-Cola and McDonald's are just two examples of big brands that published AI-generated holiday commercials – only to retract the ads after receiving criticism from consumers.
Those anti-AI feelings appear to be spilling over into Time's 2025 Person of the Year announcement as well.
On X, users commented about AI training off of intellectual property it may not have consent to use.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Others knocked how Time was celebrating the CEOs of tech companies rather than the "engineers and researchers who actually build AI."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Some X users focused on Time's choice of a cover for the Person of the Year issue, which recreates the infamous "Lunch atop a Skyscraper" photo from 1932, replacing the iron workers sitting on a steel beam with tech CEOs.

"Oh god Please burst the AI bubble ASAP."
"how very disappointing"
"The editors were so proud of this choice... ..until they all lost their jobs to the 'Person of the Year'."
And, of course, there were a few wise guys who cracked jokes about how "AI" written out looks like we're talking about a guy named "Al."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.It's important to note that Time's 2025 Person of the Year article does touch upon many of the negative aspects about AI.
The magazine's Person of the Year designation is not meant to be a moral judgement on the person chosen, but instead a recognition of their impact on the world, whether it's good, bad, or a mix of both. Over Time's history, the publication has given Person of the Year to some truly terrible individuals along with some who have devoted themselves to helping others.
Still, many online seem to believe that AI and its big tech cheerleaders don't deserve the recognition.

Amazon just dropped the AirPods Pro 3 to their best price ever

If you grabbed Apple's AirPods Pro 3 on Black Friday, I'm sending my condolences. The same earbuds are now $20 cheaper — great news for those who still have them on their list.
As of Dec. 11, the AirPods Pro 3 are now on sale for just $199 at Amazon. That's 20% or $50 off the list price of $249 and a new best price ever for the premium Apple earbuds. Walmart kicked off the record-low pricing in the early hours of the day, but it didn't take long for Amazon to give 'em the old price match. At the time of writing, Best Buy and Target have yet to join in on the fun (both retailers currently have them on sale for $219.99).
"The AirPods Pro pop up on most best of lists, and though we've always been fans, the third generation takes these earbuds to a new level," writes Mashable's reviewer. The new Apple AirPods Pro 3 feature better noise cancellation (twice as good as the Pro 2s), better battery life (eight hours with ANC, 10 hours in transparency mode), and new foam-infused tips that come in five sizes to find the right fit. They also brought the heart rate monitoring tech from the Powerbeats Pro 2 (our favorite earbuds for working out) and Fitness app compatibility to the Pro 3s, and introduced a live translation feature.
If you already have the AirPods Pro 2, we don't think it's necessarily worth an upgrade, but if you're debating between the Pro 2 and Pro 3, this price drop really seals the deal. Go with the AirPods Pro 3.
Disneys $1 billion deal with OpenAI will bring Disney characters to Sora
Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI, the entertainment giant announced on Thursday. As part of the deal, OpenAI users will be able to create AI images and videos featuring some of Disney's copyrighted characters.
OpenAI recently launched Sora, an AI video generation app powered by the Sora 2 video model, which allows users to create short videos by typing in a text prompt. When the app first launched, it freely used copyrighted characters from companies like Disney, before OpenAI ultimately cracked down. Now, users will be able to create content on Sora using characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars universes.
The deal also extends to ChatGPT, where users will be able to create images with these characters just by entering a text prompt.
“The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment for our industry, and through this collaboration with OpenAI, we will thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement.
"Bringing together Disney’s iconic stories and characters with OpenAI’s groundbreaking technology puts imagination and creativity directly into the hands of Disney fans in ways we’ve never seen before," he said.
Disney also said that it will now become a "major customer" of OpenAI, and that it will be using its API to "build new products, tools, and experiences," as well as deploy ChatGPT for its employees.
SEE ALSO: The best Disney+ deals and bundles in December 2025While Disney has cozied up with OpenAI, the company has taken a very different approach with other AI companies. In June 2025, Disney and Universal filed a lawsuit against AI company Midjourney, calling the AI image generator a "bottomless pit of plagiarism."
Sora ruffled some feathers when it launched this September, too, with the Motion Picture Association urging OpenAI to take action against copyright infringement on the platform.
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

Even if you missed the impressive discounts on gaming monitors on Black Friday, you can still score a great deal before the holidays.
As of Dec. 11, the LG 34-inch UltraGear WQHD curved gaming monitor is down to just $356.99 — nearly 30% off its list price of $499.99. That's its lowest price on record at Amazon and $3 cheaper than it was on Black Friday.
The ultra-wide curved display of the LG UltraGear WQHD takes you from just playing games to being submerged in them. The 34-inch display features a steep 1500R curvature and a 21:9 aspect ratio, so the screen will essentially wrap the action around you as you play. If you've never had a curved monitor before, it does take a bit of getting used to. But everyone from gamers to artists to multitaskers can benefit from the beauty of a wrap-around monitor. They do take up a bit more desk real estate than a typical monitor, so be sure you have to space available before you snag one.
As far as gaming specs go, it offers a 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time (which could certainly be speedier), and AMD FreeSync Premium compatibility. It also features Dynamic Action Sync, an FPS counter, a black stabilizer, and plenty of ports for your peripherals. It's not the most premium gaming monitor on the market, but it'll suit most casual gamers just fine. It also does pretty well as a regular monitor for work and everyday scrolling and streaming. A premium OLED monitor can cost you over $1,000, so the LG 34-inch UltraGear WQHD is quite the steal at $356.99.

They come with a special driver housed in a carbon fiber dome to deliver fantastic sound. Their HD noise cancelling processor is also 7x as fast as the QN1 model from Sony as well, with 12 microphonoes that work in real time to give you better noise cancellation, sound quality, and clearer calls.
Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth praised these headphones for having "close" to the best sound he's ever heard, and that their "elite noise cancellation, comfortable fit, and travel-friendly design" do justify their usually high price tag.
"They're not an instant upgrade if you already own the XM5 headphones," he wrote. "But if you have an older pair, want LDAC support, or just like the Sony product ecosystem, they're a worthy purchase, no doubt." Grab them while they're still on sale to get them for the lowest price we've found to date.

Kim Kardashian is coming to Fortnite. How to get the limited-time skin.
In a move that, well, certainly feels unexpected, you can now play Fortnite as Kim Kardashian. The game announced limited-edition skins of the reality star. They also released an emote harkening back to that famous "break the internet" cover of Paper magazine from 2014.
Here's a video from the game announcing the skins.
Kardashian herself posted about it on X.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The game is hosting the Kim Kardashian Cup on Dec. 12 with winners earning early access to the skins (for free). Otherwise, you'll have to pony up 1,500 V-Bucks.
To be fair, Kardashian is far from the only celeb to have Fortnite skin — it's a pretty regular occurrence. Still, it's only a matter of time before we see clips of Kim Kardashian in Fortnite, which is certainly quite the sentence.
Netflix and Paramounts bidding war over Warner Bros, explained
On Friday, December 5, Netflix announced that it would be acquiring Warner Bros. in a deal worth $82.7 billion. That made them the winners of a bidding war that kicked off in September, when Paramount just out of nowhere went, "hey, Warner Bros., mind if I buy you?" But Paramount's not quitting just yet. On Monday, December 8, Paramount launched its own hostile takeover bid of Warner Bros. with an offer worth $108.4 billion.
What is going on? Why is everyone going after Warner Bros.? And how is this going to impact TV and film going forward? Let's break it down.
The Daily Show slams Trumps treatment of women journalists
The Daily Show's Desi Lydic took aim at Donald Trump's treatment of female reporters, calling out the president's repeated misogynist insults on Wednesday night's show.
Trump has a long history of verbally attacking women journalists, but recently the president has made more than one recent headline with his offensive, childish, and degrading comments — despite the White House insisting "this has nothing to do with gender."
On The Daily Show, Lydic showed a montage of Trump's comments, before responding:
"Mr. Trump, just a quick follow up. What the f*** is your problem?"
"God, this guy is exhausting. It's like he won't stop until he gives every woman in the country resting Melania face. Can you just try being nice to a woman just once?"
