Markers: ~ proxy estimate and coarse estimate. Borrowed cap means the budget is a published API cap at list price, so Req / $1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.

Common questions

How many requests per $1 do I get on GLM-5.2?

The best plan pricing GLM-5.2 delivers 396 Req/$1 at the model's typical request shape — on OpenCode Go. Figures are exact confidence: they are computed from published rates and usage caps, proxy estimates are marked with a ~, and borrowed-cap plans use a published API cap at list price, so their Req/$1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.

What's the cheapest plan with GLM-5.2?

CommandCode Go at $1/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — check Req/$1 above.

What is GLM-5.2?

GLM-5.2 is Z.AI’s flagship open-weight model for agentic coding and reasoning, released in 2026. It belongs to the Z.AI (formerly Zhipu) GLM model family and can be self-hosted or accessed through monthly subscription plans.

Can I self-host GLM-5.2?

Yes — GLM-5.2 is open-weight, so it can be self-hosted on compatible hardware or accessed through a provider endpoint.

Is GLM-5.2 open-weight?

Yes — GLM-5.2 is Z.AI’s open-weight flagship (family: zai, kind: text). The model weights are publicly available, so you can self-host it or use any BYOK plan that exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. This sets it apart from proprietary models like GPT-5.5 and Kimi K3.

Can I use GLM-5.2 with any agent (BYOK)?

Yes — because GLM-5.2 is open-weight, any BYOK plan that exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint can serve it. Several providers offer no-CLI-lock plans at various price points, so you can use it with Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, or any agent that supports custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

What kind of model is GLM-5.2?

GLM-5.2 is a text generation model (kind: text) focused on agentic coding and reasoning. It is a heavyweight frontier model — not a budget throughput pick like DeepSeek V4 Flash — which means it costs more per request but handles complex multi-step agent tasks well.
