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 a lot better when it comes to keeping its train of thought going for longer periods and not falling apart when you throw some layered context at it. For companies, that’s way more important than making a tiny bit of an improvement on some potentially inconsequential benchmark,” he said.
“Benchmarks are fine for showing you’ve made some sort of progress, but they don’t tell you if your model is going to actually hold up in the real world. GPT-5.2 is a step forward, but enterprise AI is still a work in progress.”
According to Bob Hutchins, founder of AI literacy company Human Voice Media, “most enterprise frustration with AI up until now is 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 does not close the gap between promise and practice, it narrows it.”
