GLM 5.2
Qwen3 VL FlashGLM-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 Qwen3 series of compact visual-understanding models achieves an effective fusion of thinking mode and non-thinking mode, outperforming the open-source Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B with faster response speeds. It comprehensively upgrades image and video understanding, supporting ultra-long contexts such as long videos and long documents, spatial awareness, and universal object recognition; it also possesses visual 2D/3D localization capabilities and is capable of handling complex real-world tasks.
