Playground

Try prompts in your browser, create an agent, and see the cost of each reply. Your selected model carries into setup.

Model capabilities below describe the underlying model. Available playground features depend on its provider.

API

Connect your app with a Gizmo API key. Choose fastest or cheapest, stream text responses, and inspect timing, tokens, and charges in request logs.

Direct chat-completions routing is not listed for this exact model. Create a saved agent with this model and call it using the Agents API.

Legacy chat image rates use the catalog baseline. The dedicated image playground shows separate estimates and settles the provider’s metered usage. API rates are current routing ceilings; final API charges use provider-reported cost plus your fee. Cheapest routing compares eligible OpenRouter and Cheaper Inference rates for the same model; savings are not guaranteed. Cached input or other provider charges may differ.

How your plan pays for usage

API and playground share one included allowance. Usage including the fee draws from that allowance first, then your prepaid credits. Plans bill monthly; included usage resets weekly: Free $1, Starter $5, Growth $25, Scale $50.

A $1 provider charge becomes $1.05 on Free or $1.04 on a paid plan before included usage is applied. Plan eligibility still applies in the playground.

Free models and limits

Zero-cost models stay $0, including the fee, and do not consume your dollar allowance. Free accounts can make 1,000 free-model API requests per calendar month, resetting in UTC. Admitted requests count even if the provider fails.

Free includes 20 API requests/minute and 6 playground messages/minute. Paid plans raise these limits. See plan limits.

Before a text API request, Gizmo temporarily reserves included usage and, if necessary, prepaid credit for the model’s full context plus your maximum output. Image jobs reserve twice their displayed estimate. Unused funds return after metering. This hold can exceed the final charge; unconfirmed usage remains marked pending.

Overview

GPT-5.2 is the latest frontier-grade model in the GPT-5 series, offering stronger agentic and long context perfomance compared to GPT-5.1. It uses adaptive reasoning to allocate computation dynamically, responding quickly to simple queries while spending more depth on complex tasks.

Built for broad task coverage, GPT-5.2 delivers consistent gains across math, coding, sciende, and tool calling workloads, with more coherent long-form answers and improved tool-use reliability.
