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.
GLM 5.2 vs GPT 5.4 High
Output tokens cost $3.94 per million on GLM 5.2 and $15.00 per million on GPT 5.4 High. Input tokens cost $1.13 per million on GLM 5.2 and $2.50 per million on GPT 5.4 High. Cached input tokens are billed at $0.28 per million on GLM 5.2 and $0.25 per million on GPT 5.4 High. Context lengths are 1,000,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 400,000 tokens on GPT 5.4 High. On the LMArena coding leaderboard GLM 5.2 scores 1505 and GPT 5.4 High scores 1520.
GLM 5.2GPT-5.4 supports configurable reasoning effort only through the /responses endpoint. To make higher-intensity reasoning available directly via the /chat interface, GPT-5.4-High is provided as a reasoning-enhanced variant of GPT-5.4 with reasoning_effort preset to high. It is designed for tasks that require deeper analysis, stronger result consistency, and greater controllability. By applying more aggressive reasoning strategies and more effective use of extended context, the model delivers clearer and more reliable responses, making it well suited for complex agent workflows, long-chain decision-making, and reliability-critical advanced applications.
