@calvinsdiary I don’t know, but I will soon

I want to be careful with my words, but I do get to see a lot of information. (As I said in early November, there was a “release” slated for January.) As far as I know, I was the first person on this platform to mention that. Next week could very well be GPT 5.2 codex max.
