GPT-5.2 System Card Update

OpenAI has updated its system card to include the GPT-5.2 model family. This update confirms that the safety mitigation strategies employed for GPT-5.2 are largely consistent with the approaches described in the original GPT-5 System Card and the GPT-5.1 System Card addendum.

Model Variants in GPT-5.2

The GPT-5.2 family includes two specific model variants identified by their API names:

  • GPT-5.2 Instant (referred to as gpt-5.2-instant)
  • GPT-5.2 Thinking (referred to as gpt-5.2-thinking)

Safety and Mitigation Framework

OpenAI states that the comprehensive safety mitigation approach for the GPT-5.2 models is largely the same as that detailed in the previous documentation for the GPT-5 and GPT-5.1 series. This indicates a continuity in the safety alignment and deployment safety protocols used for the latest iteration of the GPT-5 model family.
