GLM 5.2 is already top 10 on OpenRouter this week, sitting right next to Opus 4.8. it's also been really strong in Deep Agents across long-horizon coding, big context, tool use, and verifying work before it says it's done. open model and much cheaper to run than its peers. On par with GPT 5.5 speed if used with @baseten (>280 TPS and <0.8s TTFT) super easy to try for yourself: https://docs.langchain.com/deepagents-code We've kept hearing how GLM-5.2 beats Opus 4.8, and are skeptical of benchmarks - so we tested them on a real bug from the Cline repo. While both models fixed the issue, GLM was the winner in terms of cost and code quality: - GLM used twice as many tokens (GLM 1.1m vs Opus 660K) b…
