Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 0.6s on ERNIE 4.5 Turbo VL and 1.1s on GLM 5.2. Measured output throughput is 24.4 tok/s on ERNIE 4.5 Turbo VL and 36.5 tok/s on GLM 5.2.
ERNIE 4.5 Turbo VL
GLM 5.2The new version of the Wenxin Yiyan large model significantly improves capabilities in image understanding, creation, translation, and coding. It supports a context length of up to 32K tokens for the first time, with a notable reduction in the latency of the first token.
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.
