It also operates on a 1 million token context window, meaning it can hold roughly 750,000 words in working memory at once.<\/p>\n<p>GLM 5.2 is designed to run long coding tasks and maintains \u201cquality across long, messy coding-agent trajectories,\u201d the company said. <\/p>\n<p>GLM-5.2 was tested on three benchmarks of long, complex coding work. On open-ended technical projects lasting hours to days, it trails Opus 4.8 by just 1% while edging past GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.7, the company said. <\/p>\n<p>On a test measuring how well it can improve smaller models using a single GPU, it beats both GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.7, ranking second only to Opus 4.8.<\/p>\n<p>On the toughest test marathon-length engineering tasks such as building compilers, it still trails Opus 4.8 by 13%, though it remains second-best overall, according to Z.ai. Across all three, GLM-5.2 is the leading open source model, according to the company.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The AI race<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Chinese model is also open source and has \u201cno regional limits [and] technical access without borders,\u201d the company notes.
