OpenAI Announces GPT-5.2 Release; New Research Proposes LLM-Classifier Fusion Method

OpenAI releases GPT-5.2 amid competition from Google's Gemini 3, while researchers introduce LabelFusion for combining LLMs with traditional classifiers.

OpenAI Releases GPT-5.2 Language Model

According to VentureBeat AI, OpenAI announced the release of GPT-5.2, a new large language model family, on Thursday. The publication notes this comes “at a pivotal moment for the AI pioneer, which has faced intensifying pressure since rival Google’s Gemini 3 LLM seized the top spot on major third-party performance” benchmarks.

New Research on LLM-Classifier Fusion

Separately, researchers published a paper on arXiv (cs.AI) introducing LabelFusion, “a fusion ensemble for text classification that learns to combine a traditional transformer-based classifier (e.g., RoBERTa) with one or more Large Language Models (LLMs such as OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek) to deliver accurat[e]” results, according to the abstract (arXiv:2512.10793v1).

The timing of these announcements highlights the competitive landscape in AI development, with multiple organizations advancing both model capabilities and techniques for combining different AI approaches. However, details about GPT-5.2’s specific capabilities, performance benchmarks, or availability were not provided in the available source material.
