GPT-5.2 Chat (AKA Instant) is the fast, lightweight member of the 5.2 family, optimized for low-latency chat while retaining strong general intelligence. It uses adaptive reasoning to selectively “think” on harder queries, improving accuracy on math, coding, and multi-step tasks without slowing down typical conversations. The model is warmer and more conversational by default, with better instruction following and more stable short-form reasoning. GPT-5.2 Chat is designed for high-throughput, interactive workloads where responsiveness and consistency matter more than deep deliberation.
