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.
GLM 5.2 vs grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning
Output tokens cost $3.94 per million on GLM 5.2 and $0.50 per million on grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning. Input tokens cost $1.13 per million on GLM 5.2 and $0.20 per million on grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning. Cached input tokens are billed at $0.28 per million on GLM 5.2 and $0.05 per million on grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning. Context lengths are 1,000,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 2,000,000 tokens on grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning. Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 0.6s on GLM 5.2 and 0.7s on grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning. Measured output throughput is 46.0 tok/s on GLM 5.2 and 72.1 tok/s on grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning. On the LMArena coding leaderboard GLM 5.2 scores 1505 and grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning scores 1493.
GLM 5.2Grok 4.1 is a new conversational model with significant improvements in real-world usability, delivering exceptional performance in creative, emotional, and collaborative interactions. It is more perceptive to nuanced user intent, more engaging to converse with, and more coherent in personality, while fully preserving its core intelligence and reliability. Built on large-scale reinforcement learning infrastructure, the model is optimized for style, personality, helpfulness, and alignment, and leverages frontier agentic reasoning models as reward evaluators to autonomously assess and iterate on responses at scale, significantly enhancing overall interaction quality.
