Flint V1.0 (free)
GLM 5.2Flint is an open-weight mixture-of-experts model developed by Recursive for coding agents, featuring an expansive context length of 262,144 tokens. Built by Recursive's autoresearch system Eureka Machine, it operates with approximately 2.5B active parameters out of 40B total parameters. This model offers an efficient and powerful solution tailored for complex development workflows and agentic tasks.
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.
