GPT-5.2 IS FRONTIER ONLY FOR THE FRONTIER

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

GPT-5.2 is good at instruction following and a solid choice, but it isn't 'fun' to interact with. People strongly dislike its personality. The model is heavily constrained and censored. It is not likely to solve OpenAI's 'Code Red' problems. The company will likely try again in a month with GPT-5.3.
