    Skills for organizations, partners, and the ecosystem, plus 1 more change

    In October, we introduced skills—a way to teach Claude repeatable workflows tailored to how you work. Skills are now easier to deploy, discover, and build with organization-wide management for Team and Enterprise plans, a directory of partner-built skills, and an open standard (Agent Skills) so skills work across AI platforms. Claude in Chrome is now available in beta to all paid plan subscribers, including Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans.

    Introducing GPT-5.2-Codex

    Today we are releasing GPT-5.2-Codex, the most advanced agentic coding model yet for complex, real-world software engineering. GPT-5.2-Codex is a version of GPT-5.2 further optimized for agentic coding in Codex, including improvements on long-horizon work through context compaction, stronger performance on large code changes like refactors and migrations, improved performance in Windows environments, and significantly stronger cybersecurity capabilities. Starting today, the CLI and IDE Extension will default to gpt-5.2-codex for users who are signed in with ChatGPT. API access for the model will come soon. If you have a model specified in your config.toml configuration file, you can instead try out gpt-5.2-codex for a new Codex CLI session using: bash codex --model gpt-5.2-codex. You can also use the /model slash command in the CLI. In the Codex IDE Extension you can select GPT-5.2-Codex from the dropdown menu. If you want to switch for all sessions, you can change your default model to gpt-5.2-codex by updating your config.toml configuration file: toml model = "gpt-5.2-codex”.

    Introducing Gemini 3 Flash, a major upgrade to your everyday AI

    What: Gemini 3 Flash is now the new default model in the Gemini app. It offers next generation intelligence at lightning speed and represents a major capability upgrade over Gemini 2.5 Flash. This model provides PhD-level reasoning comparable to larger models and delivers a significant leap in multimodal understanding, allowing you to ask questions using images, audio, text, and more. Gemini 3 Flash can be accessed in the Gemini app by selecting “Fast” for quick answers and “Thinking” to help solve more complex problems faster. Gemini 3 Pro is also available as “Pro” in the model picker and remains the best choice for advanced math and coding. Why: We want to make Gemini the most helpful AI assistant for everyone. By upgrading our default model to Gemini 3 Flash, we’re bringing next generation intelligence to all your tasks, helping you tackle your most ambitious projects, faster.
