Model Performance Comparison

GPT 5.2 generates code significantly faster (approx. 10 seconds) with a shorter, more concise thinking process compared to Gemini 3 or DeepSeek.

Simulation Limitations

While the cloned apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) are functional for basic tasks (typing, basic math, slide navigation), they lack advanced features like adding images, changing backgrounds, or embedding external websites due to security restrictions in standalone HTML.

Windows 11 Clone Generation

Target: GPT 5.2
Make a clone of Windows 11. Use the original wallpaper. On the desktop, there should be icons for work. The Start menu should also work. Put everything in a standalone HTML file.
Step by Step

Generating and Previewing the OS Simulation

  1. Open the GPT 5.2 interface.
  2. Enter the prompt specifying the OS version, required apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and the 'standalone HTML' format.
  3. Select the 'Canvas' feature/mode to enable the side-window code preview.
  4. Click the 'Generate' button to initiate the coding process.
  5. Wait for the model to complete its thinking process (approximately 10 seconds).
  6. Click the 'Preview' button in the interface to render the HTML code.
  7. Click the desktop icons or the Start menu within the preview window to verify app functionality.
