New: Thinking Mode

The Chat Is Over.
The Work Begins.

Access the raw power of GPT-5.2 "Thinking"—OpenAI's newest model family explicitly designed for professional knowledge work.

GPT-5.2 is not just a smarter chatbot. It's a model family trained via reinforcement learning to "think before it answers"—to pause, plan multi-step strategies, and refine its approach before outputting a single word of your deliverable.

How GPT-5.2 Works

Three steps from messy input to verified deliverable. No prompt engineering required.

1

Ingest

Drag and drop source materials for GPT-5.2 to analyze.

  • PDFs, CSVs, Excel, Word, Code
  • Images (charts, dashboards)
  • Up to 400,000 tokens of context

Vision: Upload screenshots of dashboards. GPT-5.2 can extract data points into structured tables.

2

Think

Select a pre-built GPT-5.2 workflow or describe your task.

  • "Financial Model" — cross-footing checks
  • "Contract Extraction" — page citations
  • "Launch Campaign" — copy + SEO table
  • "Code Refactor" — diff + unit tests

Compaction: For long workflows, we compress prior context to keep the model on track.

The GPT-5.2 Model Family

GPT-5.2 is delivered as three distinct modes, each optimized for different latency/quality tradeoffs.

GPT-5.2 Instant

Best for: Fast, everyday GPT-5.2 tasks—quick Q&A, translation, simple how-tos, email drafts.

Tradeoff: Speed over depth. Lower reasoning effort.

GPT-5.2 Pro

Best for: "Research-grade" synthesis—deep academic comparisons, nuanced policy analysis.

Tradeoff: Highest quality, but no Canvas or image generation. Limited availability.

What we do differently: Most chat interfaces default to "Instant" to prioritize speed. We force "Thinking" and "Pro" modes by default, ensuring every GPT-5.2 interaction is deep. We expose the reasoning.effort parameter (including the new xhigh level) to ensure your most critical tasks get the deepest analysis available.

A note on "feel": Users describe GPT-5.2's Thinking mode as "colder" and "more sterile" than previous models. This is intentional. OpenAI has tuned this family for accuracy over agreeableness—it's less likely to "confidently lie" to please you.

"It feels less like a creative writer and more like a rigorous analyst—which is exactly what I needed for my board report."

GPT-5.2 Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

Do I need my own OpenAI API key? +
No. We provide fully managed access to the GPT-5.2 "Thinking" and "Pro" models. You sign up and start working immediately. We handle all API key management, token budgeting, and context window optimization.
What if I already have a ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription? +
Great! But note that even paid ChatGPT tiers often default to "Instant" mode and have lower context limits (e.g., 32k for Instant, 196k for Thinking/Pro in ChatGPT Business). Our workspace forces maximum capability and provides structured output formats that ChatGPT's chat interface cannot.

Capabilities

What is GPT-5.2 "Thinking" mode and why does it matter? +
"Thinking" is GPT-5.2's deep reasoning mode. Unlike "Instant" which prioritizes fast responses, Thinking is trained via reinforcement learning to pause, plan its approach, outline steps, and verify logic before answering. This results in significantly fewer errors on complex tasks like coding, financial modeling, and multi-document analysis.
What does "xhigh" reasoning effort mean? +
It's the maximum reasoning intensity available in the GPT-5.2 API. OpenAI uses this setting for internal benchmarks. We expose it for your most critical tasks—when accuracy matters more than speed.
How does GPT-5.2 "Compaction" work? +
For very long tasks (e.g., analyzing a 200-page document set), the conversation history can exceed even 400k tokens. Compaction is a server-side feature that compresses prior context into an encrypted, information-dense state, allowing the model to "continue working" without losing critical task details.
What is the GPT-5.2 knowledge cutoff? +
August 31, 2025. The model's training data is current up to this date.
Can GPT-5.2 analyze images? Can it generate images? +
Analyze (Yes): Upload screenshots of dashboards, charts, or even handwritten notes. GPT-5.2's Vision capability can extract data and describe content.
Generate (No): GPT-5.2 is a text-output model. It does not generate images.

Data & Privacy

Is my data safe? Will it be used for training? +
Your data is safe. We use the OpenAI API, which by default does not use your data for training. This is different from the consumer ChatGPT product, where chat history may be used unless you opt out. With our platform, your uploads and outputs are isolated and never shared.
Are you SOC2 compliant? +
We are pursuing SOC2 Type II certification. Enterprise customers can request a detailed security questionnaire.

Experience

Why does GPT-5.2 sometimes feel "cold"? +
This is by design. GPT-5.2 is optimized for accuracy over personality ("agreeableness"). It prioritizes being a rigorous analyst over being a conversational friend. For professional work where precision is paramount, this is a feature: the model is less likely to "confidently lie" to please you.
What if the GPT-5.2 output is wrong? +
No AI is perfect. "38% fewer hallucinations" is not "zero hallucinations." We always recommend human review for high-stakes decisions, especially in legal, medical, and financial contexts. Our platform is designed to make that review faster by providing structured, citable outputs—not to replace your judgment.
