Online Variant

Attach web search to model requests with :online

The :online variant enables real-time web retrieval for current events, fresh facts, and sources that are newer than model training cutoffs.

Variant

{
  "model": "openai/gpt-5.2:online",
  "messages": [
    { "role": "user", "content": "What changed in EU AI policy this week?" }
  ]
}

When to use online

Choose :online for questions requiring live information. For stable, internal reasoning tasks without web lookup, prefer the base model.
