Technology
Chinese startup Z.ai just dropped GLM-5.2, a large language model built for tough coding and engineering jobs.
What stands out? It can handle massive codebases thanks to its one-million-token context window, and it's open source under the MIT license, so businesses everywhere can use it without restrictions.
GLM-5.2 beats GPT-5.5 $12.60 monthly plans
GLM-5.2 beat OpenAI's GPT-5.5 on key benchmarks like Humanity's Last Exam (scoring 54.7 vs. GPT-5.5's 52.2) and edged ahead in long project tests too.
Z.ai is offering enterprise plans starting at $12.60 a month, tapping into the growing demand for open source AI as companies look for options beyond U.S.-made models facing export limits.
