GLM 5.2
Qwen3 Coder PlusGLM-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.
The code generation model based on Qwen3 has powerful Coding Agent capabilities, excels in tool invocation and environment interaction, and can achieve autonomous programming with outstanding coding abilities while also possessing general capabilities.The model adopts tiered pricing.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
