ERNIE X1 Turbo
GLM 5.2Wenxin Large Model X1 possesses enhanced abilities in understanding, planning, reflection, and evolution. As a more comprehensive deep-thinking model, Wenxin X1 combines accuracy, creativity, and literary elegance, excelling particularly in Chinese knowledge Q&A, literary creation, document writing, daily conversations, logical reasoning, complex calculations, and tool invocation.
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.
