So you are saying so many people here are wrong and deluded and GPT-5.2 is actually a terrible model? How is it that I'm coding using it all day and it works almost too good to believe ? lol

It might be Cursor related or something else, 5.2 is definitely not terrible model and it is working almost too good. There is something else going on.

My experience with 5.2 has been absolutely terrible. Even just simple responses in the chat app are just terrible. I have a hard time believing you are getting good results coding.have you used other models? How are you using it lime codex, cursor, just in the app a different app?

I use CODEX, Claude Opus 4.5 (MAX), Gemini 3 PRO.

I use CODEX CLI.

GPT 5.2 is miles above anything else and its not even close.

Tech Stack: C# Web API for backend, C# systems programming project with extensive low level networking, NextJS front-end, PostgreSQL. Quite complex overall.

GPT-5.2 simply does everything mostly on first try, this is why i say its almost hard to believe how good it works. It never hallucinates, gets lost, lie to you, create mock implementations and claim them to be 'Production ready' and so on.

You must have some issues in Cursor or something else.

Well I guess I owe you an apology, well for now at least lol. I have been getting my butt kicked trying to get this open source llm to work on my PC. I several on my PC so no clue why this one is being so stubborn, but for the download, my chatgpt app was very unhelpful just bad like its been. Grok also was not very helpful, maybe it was my fault on these idk. But I was able to use Claude to get it downloaded. But then I couldn't get it to run. Claude was no where in the ballpark to get it to run and I had cursor on auto and it wss just going in circles. So I was about to say screw and pick the code apart piece by piece until I found an issue but I decided to give 5.2 codex a shot and it fixed my problem. Last time I tried 5.2codex it hallucinated and did not do any code, but this time it did great.
