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 Build 0.1
Output tokens cost $3.94 per million on GLM 5.2 and $2.00 per million on Grok Build 0.1. Input tokens cost $1.13 per million on GLM 5.2 and $1.00 per million on Grok Build 0.1. Cached input tokens are billed at $0.28 per million on GLM 5.2 and $0.20 per million on Grok Build 0.1. Context lengths are 1,000,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 256,000 tokens on Grok Build 0.1. Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 0.6s on GLM 5.2 and 0.6s on Grok Build 0.1. Measured output throughput is 45.4 tok/s on GLM 5.2 and 64.9 tok/s on Grok Build 0.1.

FAQ
Which is cheaper: GLM 5.2, Grok Build 0.1?
Grok Build 0.1: $2.00/M output tokens; GLM 5.2: $3.94/M. Use the cost calculator above to estimate your own workload.
Which responds faster?
Grok Build 0.1: 0.6s time to first token measured on AIHubMix; see the live performance charts above for how each model behaves across the day.
How large is each context window?
GLM 5.2 accepts 1,000,000 and Grok Build 0.1 accepts 256,000 input tokens. Maximum output per request is 128,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 256,000 tokens on Grok Build 0.1.
Which one generates tokens faster?
Grok Build 0.1 at 64.9 tok/s and GLM 5.2 at 45.4 tok/s, measured as output throughput on AIHubMix — a separate metric from time to first token.
What inputs and capabilities does each model support?
GLM 5.2 accepts text input and supports thinking, tool calling, function calling and structured outputs; Grok Build 0.1 accepts text and image input and supports thinking, tool calling, function calling, structured outputs and long context.
Can I call GLM 5.2 and Grok Build 0.1 with the same API key?
Yes. AIHubMix serves every model on this page behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so switching between them is a one-line change to the model field — no second account, key or SDK.
