GLM-5.2 is an Open-Weight language model developed by Zhipu AI (Z.ai), designed as a "Mixture-of-Experts" architecture with 744 billion total and 40 billion active parameters. It was initially released on June 13, 2026 for GLM Coding Plan subscribers, with full MIT-licensed model weights following on June 16, 2026. The model specializes in coding and long-running agent tasks, supports a context window of 1 million Token, and is currently ranked as the most powerful openly available language model according to the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. It is text-based (not a native multimodal model); image and video understanding is covered through separate Z.ai models from the GLM-V series.
