Compare GLM 5.2 from Z.AI and MiniMax M3 (free) from Minimax on key metrics including benchmarks, price, context length, and other model features. Access both models and hundreds of others through the AIHubMix API.
GLM 5.2
MiniMax M3 (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.
MiniMax-M3 is a versatile multimodal foundation model developed by MiniMax that supports text, image, and video inputs to generate text outputs. With a massive context window of 1,048,576 tokens, it is capable of processing and understanding vast amounts of information. This model is highly optimized for complex tasks, making it exceptionally well-suited for coding and long-horizon agentic workflows.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
