GPT-5.2 Pro was also released without a system card.
OpenAI did publish a GPT-5.2 system card on December 11, 2025, the same day GPT-5.2 Pro launched. The card was not Pro-specific, but saying GPT-5.2 Pro launched without any system card is incorrect.
Full reasoning
OpenAI’s own release materials contradict this. On the December 11, 2025 GPT-5.2 launch post, OpenAI says GPT-5.2 Instant, Thinking, and Pro were rolling out that day, and in the Safety section it explicitly says: “Further details can be found in the system card.”
OpenAI also published “Update to GPT-5 System Card: GPT-5.2” on the same date. That page is a public system card for the GPT-5.2 release family and includes sections such as Baseline Model Safety Evaluations, Cyber Safety, and Preparedness Framework. The card’s introduction says “GPT-5.2 is the latest model family in the GPT-5 series.”
So while it is fair to argue that OpenAI did not publish a Pro-specific system card, the broader claim that GPT-5.2 Pro was released without a system card is false: a public GPT-5.2 system card existed at launch.
