because GPT-5.2 Pro was also released without a system card.
OpenAI did publish a GPT-5.2 system-card update on December 11, 2025, the same day GPT-5.2 Pro rolled out. It may be fair to say the card lacked Pro-specific detail, but saying GPT-5.2 Pro was released ‘without a system card’ is too strong.
Full reasoning
OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 launch announcement says that “GPT-5.2 Instant, Thinking, and Pro will begin rolling out today” on December 11, 2025. On that same date, OpenAI published “Update to GPT-5 System Card: GPT-5.2.” The system-card update states that “GPT-5.2 is the latest model family in the GPT-5 series” and describes the safety mitigation approach for “these models.”
That means GPT-5.2 Pro was not released in the complete absence of a system card. A narrower claim—that OpenAI did not publish Pro-specific safety benchmark results or a separate Pro-only card—would be more accurate. But the categorical statement that GPT-5.2 Pro was released “without a system card” is contradicted by OpenAI’s own December 11, 2025 system-card update for GPT-5.2.
