Rachid ‘Rush’ Wehbi, CEO of e-commerce platform Sell The Trend, has tested GPT-5.2 under real-world conditions. “GPT-5.2 is doing quite a bit higher in terms of keeping its train of thought going for longer periods and never falling apart while you throw some layered context at it. For corporations, that’s far more necessary than making a tiny little bit of an improvement on some potentially inconsequential benchmark,” he said.
“Benchmarks are wonderful for showing you’ve made some kind of progress, but they don’t let you know in case your model goes to really delay in the actual world. GPT-5.2 is a step forward, but enterprise AI continues to be a piece in progress.”
Based on Bob Hutchins, founding father of AI literacy company Human Voice Media, “most enterprise frustration with AI up until now’s from the last 20% — the formatting, the constraints, the handoffs. GPT-5.2 shows progress there.” His advice for enterprises was, “ignore the launch noise and run a disciplined trial. GPT-5.2 is a meaningful step. It doesn’t close the gap between promise and practice, it narrows it.”
