Google Drops Gemini 3 Pro News the Same Day OpenAI Releases GPT-5.2 “Garlic”

In a perfectly timed move, Google announced its upgraded Deep Research agent just hours before OpenAI revealed GPT-5.2 (Garlic) — a model OpenAI claims outperforms Google across major benchmarks.
While Google’s agent dominated on its own tests and showed strong results elsewhere, OpenAI’s new release suggests the benchmark race is far from over. The timing of both announcements highlights the escalating competition between AI giants as they battle for leadership in the agentic AI era.

If this bounce holds, next liquidity grab could push it higher.
