Compare GLM 5.2 from Z.AI and Qwen3 30B A3B from Qwen 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
Qwen3 30B A3BGLM-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.
Achieves effective integration of thinking and non-thinking modes, allowing mode switching during conversations. Its reasoning ability matches that of QwQ-32B with a smaller parameter size, and its general capability significantly surpasses Qwen2.5-14B, reaching state-of-the-art (SOTA) levels among industry models of the same scale.
