GLM 5.2: open weights, text-only, unpublished size

GLM 5.2 is a historical Z.ai model entry before GLM 5.3. Its profile's context, output and token price describe the documented API row; parameter count remains unpublished or conflicting across primary materials.

What changed

  • Z.ai documents a 1M context and 128K max output for GLM 5.2; its parameter count remains unresolved because cited primary materials conflict.
  • Z.ai's per-token table lists $1.40 input / $4.40 output per million tokens — mirrored in the catalog row.
  • Parameter count stays unverified — Hugging Face and Z.ai GitHub README publish conflicting figures.

Best fit

  • Open-weight deployments
  • Long-horizon coding agents
  • Long context on a budget

What to be careful about

  • Size stays unverified: Hugging Face and Z.ai GitHub README publish conflicting parameter figures.
  • Catalogued modalities are text-only.
  • GLM Coding Plan now defaults to GLM 5.3 and routes 5.2/5.1 requests there — this row is the open-weight / token-list identity.
Dataset snapshot: GLM 5.2 is also represented in the checked comparison dataset. Prices and benchmark figures carry their own field dates.
