Opus 4.5 Writes Specs, GPT-5.2 Builds

Video Description

GPT-5.2 dropped today and I'm testing it inside Cursor on real projects. OpenAI says GPT-5.2 Pro can run for up to an hour on complex coding tasks. Cursor just shipped debug mode and a new design editor. Time to see if any of this actually works. What I'm testing: - Multiplayer soccer game (5v5, 10 players) built from scratch - Lanikai Canoe Club app - full SaaS with Convex database, Clerk auth, the whole stack - Taking a spec Opus 4.5 generated and handing it to GPT-5.2 to see how far it gets Also walking through my prompting workflow for going from idea to spec to implementation. We'll see what breaks.
