OpenAI: GPT-5.2
GPT-5.2, developed by OpenAI, is designed to process text, files, and images with a context length of 400,000 tokens and supports reasoning and tools for more complex tasks. It offers robust input modalities and the ability to handle large volumes of data efficiently. For projects that require a blend of text, image, and file processing capabilities along with advanced reasoning, GPT-5.2 should be considered. Its blended benchmark score of 82.1 across two independent benchmarks places it among top contenders; however, given its pricing at $1.75 per million input tokens and $14.0 per million output tokens, it may not be the most economical choice for all users.
