Which responds faster?

GLM 5.2: 1.1s time to first token measured on AIHubMix; see the live performance charts above for how each model behaves across the day.

Which one generates tokens faster?

Longcat 2.0 at 38.5 tok/s and GLM 5.2 at 37.9 tok/s, measured as output throughput on AIHubMix — a separate metric from time to first token.

What inputs and capabilities does each model support?

GLM 5.2 accepts text input and supports thinking, tool calling, function calling and structured outputs; Longcat 2.0 accepts text input and supports thinking and tool calling.

Can I call GLM 5.2 and Longcat 2.0 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.
