ERNIE 4.5 Turbo
GLM 5.2Wenxin 4.5 Turbo also has significant improvements in hallucination reduction, logical reasoning, and coding capabilities. Compared to Wenxin 4.5, it is faster and more affordable.
GLM-5.2 is Z.ai’s flagship model for the era of long-horizon tasks. With a truly usable 1M-token context window, it can handle project-level engineering context, execute long-running tasks more reliably, follow engineering standards more consistently, and complete the full development workflow from requirements to multi-platform deployment in a single task.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
