GLM-5.2
by Zhipu AI model
Z.ai's current top model at $1.4 per million input tokens and $4.4 per million output — a fraction of Western frontier pricing, which is the main reason teams evaluate it. The lineup is unusually deep: GLM-5.1 and GLM-5 below it, GLM-5-Turbo for latency, the cheaper GLM-4.7 family at $0.6/$2.2, vision models including GLM-5V-Turbo and GLM-OCR, and genuinely free tiers in GLM-4.7-Flash and GLM-4.5-Flash. Open weights have historically followed, making it a common self-hosting choice.
