Key Takeaways:

🚀 GLM-5.2 is an improved version of GLM-5.1 and is expected to be available through the GLM Coding Plan.
🧠 The model now supports a massive 1 million token context window, which many users have been waiting for.
🔓 GLM-5.2 is expected to be open weights and possibly MIT licensed, making it easier for others to host.
💻 It works with tools like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and other coding workflows through the GLM Coding Plan.
📊 On my benchmark, GLM-5.2 scores around 81.43, only about 6 percent below Opus 4.8 and Fable.
🎮 The model performs very well on coding tasks like elevator simulations, folding table models, bow and arrow games, and local fine-tuning workflows.
💸 At around $8 per month, the GLM Coding Plan offers strong value compared to more expensive options like Claude and Codex.
⚡ The model feels faster, more focused, and more streamlined with improved token usage compared to earlier versions.
👍 Overall, GLM-5.2 is a very strong and affordable coding model, especially when used with OpenCode.

GLM 5.2 is an upcoming AI coding model from ZAI, reviewed here with early access. Key features include a 1 million token context window, open weights (likely MIT licensed), and availability on the GLM coding plan ($8/month). Benchmarked against tasks like elevator simulators, 3D modeling with Three.js, SVG generation, and a bow-and-arrow game, it scored 81.43 on the reviewer's custom benchmark — about 6% below Claude Opus 4.8 and Fable. The reviewer recommends pairing it with OpenCode and highlights its speed improvements, focused token usage, and strong price-to-performance ratio compared to Codex or Claude subscriptions.
