Open weight, MIT

GLM-5.2 online, pay per use

GLM-5.2 is the open-weight, coding-first model from Beijing lab Z.ai, formerly Zhipu AI. Released in June 2026 under the MIT license, it is the top open-weights model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and beats GPT-5.5 on coding at roughly one sixth of the cost. On avots.ai you run it pay per use, no subscription, and the same balance also covers Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.6, Gemini and DeepSeek V4.

FAQ

GLM-5.2 questions

What is GLM-5.2?
GLM-5.2 is an open-weight, coding-first large language model from Beijing lab Z.ai, formerly Zhipu AI, released in June 2026 under the MIT license. It is a mixture-of-experts model with about 744 billion total parameters and roughly 40 billion active per token, with a 1 million token context window and up to 131,072 output tokens.
How good is GLM-5.2 at coding?
It is the leading open-weight coding model of mid 2026. GLM-5.2 scores 62.1 on SWE-bench Pro, ahead of GPT-5.5 and close to Claude Opus 4.8 on agentic tasks, and 81.0 on Terminal-Bench 2.1. It is the top open-weights model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with a score of 51.
How much does GLM-5.2 cost on avots.ai?
Pay per use, no subscription. GLM-5.2 lists at about 1.40 USD input and 4.40 USD output per million tokens, roughly one sixth of GPT-5.5's blended cost. Top up from 0.99 EUR and every reply shows its token cost before you run.
Is it the real GLM-5.2?
Yes. avots.ai routes to the same Z.ai GLM-5.2 weights through official APIs. Same model, same quality, pay per use instead of a monthly plan, and it works with Claude Code and Cline via Anthropic compatible endpoints.
Can I use GLM-5.2 with Claude and DeepSeek on one balance?
Yes. One balance covers 40+ models: GLM-5.2, Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.6, Gemini and DeepSeek V4 for chat, plus Veo, Sora and Nano Banana for media. Use them in the web app, Telegram, MCP or the API.
