Doubao Seed 1.6 Flash
GLM 5.2Doubao-Seed-1.6-flash is an extremely fast multimodal deep thinking model, with TPOT requiring only 10ms. It supports both text and visual understanding, with its text comprehension skills surpassing the previous generation lite model and its visual understanding on par with competitor's pro series models. It supports a 256k context window and an output length of up to 16k tokens.
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.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
