FAQ
How large is each context window?
glm-5.2 accepts 1,000,000 and glm-5.2-free accepts 128,000 input tokens.
What inputs and capabilities does each model support?
glm-5.2 accepts text input and supports thinking, tool calling, function calling and structured outputs; glm-5.2-free accepts text input and supports reasoning and long context.
Can I call glm-5.2 and glm-5.2-free with the same API key?
Yes. AIHubMix serves every model on this page behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so switching between them is a one-line change to the model field — no second account, key or SDK.
