- 🤖 OpenAI Fires Back With GPT-5.2
Happy Monday!
Things escalated quickly in AI this week. OpenAI followed its “code red” memo with the release of GPT-5.2, an update aimed squarely at improving ChatGPT’s reasoning, speed, and everyday usefulness. The message is simple: focus wins.
At the same time, OpenAI announced a creative partnership with Disney that brings AI image generation into the world of iconic characters and stories. With Sora in the mix, this could change how entertainment, marketing, and storytelling are created.
Stick around. I also included a powerful end-of-year prompt below that everyone should try before 2025 comes to a close.
PROMPT: Give me a summary of what you learned about me this year. Include my wildest questions, the patterns and growth you saw in our conversations, and a prediction for next year.
Enjoy!
