Re: GLM-5.2 is the new leading open weights model on Artificial Analysis
#2It seems to really be a nice step-up and is getting quite close to the frontier. I wish they'd start focusing on the reasoning efficiency now, though. I have a simple (relatively) test task to evaluate LLMs: writing a simple math evaluator library in Nim (it's about 400-600 lines total max), and GLM 5.2 (xhigh which maps to max effort) spent over 15 minutes (!) reasoning, spending about 45k tokens, before it finally wrote the first file.
I know it's hard to improve on that, but now that their models are good enough at raw intelligence, I think this should become a higher priority task.
Currently on https://artificialanalysis.ai/#output-tokens GPT 5.5 xhigh spends 16k tokens total on average, GPT 5.5 high is 10k, Fable 5 33k, Opus 4.8 41k, GLM 5.2 is 42k. GPT 5.5 is extremely reasoning efficient.
Of course if you convert those values to actual request cost, GLM 5.2 will probably beat GPT 5.5/Opus 4.8, but speed matters for a lot of people, I think.

#3It’s pretty good. More talkative than 5.1. Reminds me of deepseek 4
Their servers are melting though - getting more timeouts etc

#4Why aren't more people talking about this? It's literally Opus 4.7 quality stupid prices. I know providers who are offering this at unlimited tokens for $50 a month. Some are even offering API rates at 3x lower than the official ZAI api rates which are already like 10x cheaper than Opus. (Crof and Umans btw)
This is a huge blow to Anthropic/OpenAI/Google and a massive win for the rest of the world. The official API prices and speeds mean nothing for open source models.

#5> GLM-5.2 sits off the most attractive quadrant on the Intelligence vs Output Tokens chart.
That is unfortunate...

I cancelled my claude sub after realizing I can burn 300m tokens a day of this quality, for $50 a month.

#7I've been playing with this model a fair amount over the last 24 hours, and I can confirm it's quite capable, while being a little bit verbose (I've seen it reconsider things 3-4 times in thinking traces before deciding on a path forward), and not being quite as good as GPT5.5 at working through complex abstract requirements.
Honestly it's good enough that I feel comfortable recommending a Z.AI sub + a $20/mo OpenAI sub for all but the most AI pilled multi-orchestrators, or the die hard Claude fans. GLM writing + GPT reviewing/debugging feels pretty unlimited and minimally worse than just doing everything in GPT with the $200/mo plan.

This is GLM 5.2 Max. GLM 5.2 High which use less than half[1] the tokens.

I’m not that interested in models that I can’t run on my desktop for ~0€, which is my AI budget.

Yes, but the Artificial Analysis result is also from GLM 5.2 (max), not high.
