GLM 5.2
Lfm 3 1.7b (free)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.
Developed by Liquid, lfm-3-1.7b-free is a compact 1.7B-parameter text model featuring an expansive 256K-token context window. This model is post-trained for agentic workflows, tool calling, and generating structured outputs, reasoning thoroughly before it answers. Please note that prompts and outputs may be retained and used.
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.
