Doubao Seed 1.6 Lite
GLM 5.2Doubao-Seed-1.6-lite is a brand new multimodal deep reasoning model that supports adjustable reasoning effort, with four modes: Minimal, Low, Medium, and High. It offers better cost performance, making it the best choice for common tasks, with a context window of up to 256k.
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.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.
