review of gpt 5.2 after a day of hard use
- sometimes really slow but good at most times
- does what its told so its at par with opus 4.5
- opus 4.5 is still better at code (bias towards speed)
- grabs context from codebase pretty well
- ui still has that slop look by default
heard that there’s more to come so will wait a bit more
overall a great general purpose model but not the best at times for coding
After playing with Cursor for hours after the announcement I can confirm that GPT-5.1 Codex Max Extra High Fast is the best coding model right now with Opus 4.5 close second
