Structured rows reported in this exact model repository at the pinned revision below. They are the publisher talking about itself: never measured evidence, never a score input on their own. They remain quarantined until dataset revision, harness, configuration and identity pass ModelCap’s independent admission review.

These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.

BES evidence selected · measured input only

The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.

GLM 5.2: common questions

How does GLM 5.2 rank among AI models?

GLM 5.2 is a superseded version and is not on the current board as of 22 September 2026. Its archive position, where one exists, is shown on the page; the newer version carries the current rank.

How much does GLM 5.2 cost per 1M tokens?

GLM 5.2 is listed at $0.65 per 1M input tokens and $2.04 per 1M output tokens as of 22 September 2026; the lowest output price among 23 providers is $1.80 on DeepInfra. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh; at least one provider lists a free tier. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $2.32 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.

What is the context window of GLM 5.2?

GLM 5.2 has a published context window of 1M tokens (1,048,576) and a maximum output of 131K tokens. Individual providers can serve less than the published maximum; the providers table lists each endpoint's own limit.

Is GLM 5.2 open-weight?

Open weights (mit). Downloadable weights are published under an OSI or free-culture license in the current repository metadata. This describes weight availability, not whether the full training stack qualifies as Open Source AI. The repository is zai-org/GLM-5.2 on Hugging Face.

Which API providers serve GLM 5.2?

23 providers serve GLM 5.2 through OpenRouter as of 22 September 2026: DeepInfra, Ambient, StreamLake, Novita, DigitalOcean and CoreWeave and 17 more. Each provider's price, context limit, quantization and measured uptime are in the providers table above.

Which benchmarks has GLM 5.2 been evaluated on?

GLM 5.2 has published results on 7 public boards tracked by ModelCap as of 22 September 2026: Arena coding 1510 (#48 of 397), LMArena Agent 4.4% (#14 of 46), ARC-AGI-2 22.8% (#97 of 214), AA Intelligence Index 33.7 (#60 of 151) and AA τ²-Bench Telecom 99.1% (#1 of 436) and more. Each board page ranks every tracked model on that benchmark; the ModelCap Index combines them with published uncertainty.

When was GLM 5.2 released?

GLM 5.2 first appeared in the catalogue on 16 Jun 2026. It has since been superseded by GLM 5.3. Rank and price movements since then are recorded on the site's changes feed.
