On December 11, 2025, a statement circulated on the Internet that "OpenAI hints at a new model codenamed Garlic, GPT-5.2 will be released tomorrow." At present, relevant expressions are mostly found in third-party self-media, breaking news accounts and commentary articles, and are not from OpenAI's official website, official blogs or certified social accounts. At this stage, OpenAI has not given a clear public explanation for the codename "Garlic" or issued an official announcement named after GPT-5.2.
Several technology reports and analysis articles speculate that OpenAI is testing a new generation of flagship models internally, possibly as a response to new models from competitors, and has the opportunity to launch an upgraded version in some form in early December. However, key information such as the specific release time, whether it will be named GPT-5.2, and when it will be available to ordinary users has not been officially confirmed. "It will be released tomorrow" and "fully open to all users" are unconfirmed rumors, and there is great uncertainty, and users need to be cautious when forwarding relevant revelations.
