OpenAI تسرع إطلاق GPT-5.2 عقب إعلان حالة الطوارئ لمواجهة تفوق Gemini 3 -  Arabhardware

Last week, Sam Altman rarely pressed OpenAI’s nuclear button—” Code Red.”

This was not merely a tactical adjustment, but more like a bloody “survival by self-amputation.”

Altman’s message was clear: Sora? Put it on hold. Those cool but unprofitable side projects? All pushed aside. For the next eight weeks, the entire company must focus on one thing—making ChatGPT indispensable again.

This week, OpenAI is set to release the highly anticipated GPT-5.2 model, with executives hoping it will quickly turn the tide in programming and business client markets.

However, according to insiders, to seize the market at this critical juncture, OpenAI leadership ruthlessly rejected the R&D team’s request for “just a bit more time to polish it.”

This almost brutal push is out of desperation, because Google, that giant beast, has truly gone berserk.
