GLM-5.2 (max)

Profile. GLM-5.2 (max) is positioned in the mid-tier at $4.40/M output tokens. The benchmark profile is balanced — strongest on GPQA Diamond (89.5%) — making it a default choice for teams that need general-purpose reasoning without paying frontier-model prices.

Latency. On latency, GLM-5.2 (max) reports 124 tok/s output speed and 999ms time-to-first-token. Output speed is in the normal range — most chat and completion applications will be token-bound, not streaming-bound.

Cost model. For a workload of 1M input tokens + 100K output tokens, GLM-5.2 (max) costs $1.84 per million input-equivalent requests. Multiply by your monthly request volume to project the bill, and compare against the speed/correctness profile above to decide if the trade-off is worth it for your workload.
