Editorial Analysis

Profile. GLM-5.2 (Non-reasoning) is positioned in the mid-tier at $4.40/M output tokens. The benchmark profile is balanced — strongest on Coding Index (46.5) — making it a default choice for teams that need general-purpose reasoning without paying frontier-model prices.

Latency. On latency, GLM-5.2 (Non-reasoning) reports 100 tok/s output speed and 2050ms time-to-first-token. Output speed is on the slower end; for real-time chat consider pairing with a streaming front-end or routing latency-sensitive requests to a faster model.

Cost model. For a workload of 1M input tokens + 100K output tokens, GLM-5.2 (Non-reasoning) 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.
