GPT-5.2 93.9*% Approx. 95% interval: 87.9–99.9% · Older result

Bars show reported task scores. Whiskers are approximate 95% intervals where standard errors are available. Different reasoning budgets are not equal-cost tests. Missing results are never zero.

Recorded results

Only the same benchmark, version, workload, scenario and unit share a row. Missing results are not zero. System results include the full submitted hardware and software configuration.
