Z.ai debuts GLM-5.2, saying it has significant improvements for coding, agentic, and long-horizon tasks, with a 1M context window and MIT-licensed open weights
We're introducing GLM-5.2, our latest flagship model for long-horizon tasks. It marks a substantial leap in long-horizon task capability …

for long horizon tasks they drop grpo-variant and go back to critic based ppo with token level adv. interesting!! [image]

This is kind of insane. Seems like we have recursive self-improvement in the open source now. Impressive for _only_ 753B parameters. Congrats to the @Zai_org team! [image]

🚨 GLM-5.2 is @Z dot AI's latest model with open weights (MIT license). Let's go! Key details: 🧠 Significant improvements in coding, agentic tasks, and reasoning 📏 1M token context window ⚖️ Two modes: (max) for highest performance and (high) for better token efficiency 🔓 [image]

Playing with GLM-5.2 Just ran a long code review with it and it found a handful of items that GPT-5.5 missed, and GPT agreed with them So far I'm very impressed Going to use these two in combo going forward

🤯 GLM-5.2 is here — built for long-horizon coding and agentic tasks, now with a solid 1M-token context. The strongest open-source coding model yet! Available now on Ollama's cloud, hosted in the US on the latest @NVIDIAAI Blackwell datacenter GPUs. Privacy policy and zero [image]

GLM 5.2 is an impressive model and performed better than GPT 5.5 on FrontierSWE! Excited to see more labs using FrontierSWE to measure long-horizon capabilities for coding We're working on some improvements to FrontierSWE and launching a v2 soon :) [image]

used it the past few days and it is a great model. still using a bit too many tokens for now (which in combination with CN servers makes it slow), but it knows how to use sub agents to explore things and then does so :) it being MIT is very much welcome, congrats zhipu!!

They have reached Opus 4.8 levels already. Give them 2-3 months more, and they will easily reach Fable levels of SWE workbench evals. Chinese models will pave the path for humanity's future.

Open-weight models are getting scary good. GLM-5.2 brings frontier-level coding, long-horizon reasoning, 1M context, and MIT license. This is the kind of release builders should pay attention to. [image]

deepswe, terminal bench 2.1, and swe atlas correlate the most strongly with “good coding vibes” based on all the open models I've tested. that puts GLM-5.2 comfortably in the lead for open weight models. 700B params is all you need?

very cool to see this used in the actual model; indexer is the main bottleneck for inference speed in DSA and it seems competently unnecessary to have it per layer [image]

GLM 5.2 is apparently the strongest Chinese model, and it'll be open this is quite a jump on CritPt. They have *finally* started to build general reasoners. I think it'll be very competitive on ARC-AGI 2 and WeirdML, too [image]

> We propose IndexShare, which reuses the same indexer across every four sparse attention layers, reducing per-token FLOPs by 2.9× at a 1M context length. We also improve GLM-5.2's MTP Good demonstration that a lot could be squeezed out of “mere” DSA on benchmarks, too. [image]

GLM 5.2 ranks #3 on FrontierSWE. It is only behind Fable 5 and Opus 4.8, and it outperforms GPT-5.5. This is the first model that closes the large gap between models from Anthropic / OpenAI and other providers, and it is the strongest open-weight model by far. [video]

Still hard to expect the unexpected with AI. It goes to show how skilled many of the scientists are in China. They're hitting high peaks with much less compute. Overall, I think the US models are really ahead, but you can't just discount the Chinese labs. Not at all.
