A field you can set
A familiar chat-completions shape often sets "stream": true next to "model": "gpt-5.2". On a messages shape, follow the stream field your client actually sends.
GPT-5.2 shares the 272K window and list rate with the Codex IDs but does not carry the Code tag. Send gpt-5.2 for chat, reasoning, and vision at that rate.
