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 MiniMax M2.5 Highspeed
Output tokens cost $3.94 per million on GLM 5.2 and $1.15 per million on MiniMax M2.5 Highspeed. Input tokens cost $1.13 per million on GLM 5.2 and $0.29 per million on MiniMax M2.5 Highspeed. Cached input tokens are billed at $0.28 per million on GLM 5.2 and $0.29 per million on MiniMax M2.5 Highspeed. Context lengths are 1,000,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 204,800 tokens on MiniMax M2.5 Highspeed. Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 1.1s on GLM 5.2 and 1.4s on MiniMax M2.5 Highspeed. Measured output throughput is 37.3 tok/s on GLM 5.2 and 54.2 tok/s on MiniMax M2.5 Highspeed.
