GLM-5.2 Benchmarks

How Z.ai’s GLM-5.2 stacks up against the frontier (Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro) and its predecessor GLM-5.1 — across long-horizon coding, standard coding, reasoning, and agentic benchmarks, plus the MTP speculative-decoding gain. The strongest open-source model at launch.

Curated snapshotLast updated: Jul 17, 202628 data points
Long-horizon coding benchmarks

Score (higher = better). GLM-5.2 trails Opus 4.8 narrowly and is the top open-source model.

Standard coding benchmarks

Score (higher = better). GLM-5.2 closes much of the gap to the closed-source frontier.

View data & sources →
Reasoning benchmarks

Score (higher = better). GLM-5.2 leads on AIME 2026; competitive across the board.

View data & sources →
Agentic benchmarks

Score (higher = better). Tool use and multi-step agent tasks.

Generational leap: GLM-5.2 vs GLM-5.1

Score (higher = better). The biggest jumps over the predecessor.

Methodology & sources

Last updated: Jul 17, 2026

Methodology

Source-backed values for all six charts come from the Z.ai GLM-5.2 launch post (2026-06-16): long-horizon coding (FrontierSWE, PostTrainBench, SWE-Marathon), standard coding (Terminal-Bench 2.1, SWE-bench Pro, NL2Repo, DeepSWE, ProgramBench), reasoning (HLE, CritPt, AIME, HMMT, GPQA-Diamond, IMOAnswerBench), agentic (MCP-Atlas, Tool-Decathlon), the GLM-5.2 vs GLM-5.1 generational leap, and the MTP acceptance-length ablation. Every numeric point carries a sources[].ref and a value_basis naming the table row. Scores are reproduced verbatim from the Full Benchmark Table; cells the vendor published as "-" (not reported) are omitted, never estimated. CAVEAT: these are the model developer’s self-reported figures under their stated harnesses and prompts (see the post’s footnotes); some competitor HLE/CritPt cells are full-set scores. They are comparison-as-published, not an independent eval. Architecture context (not charted): 1M-token context (up from 200K), IndexShare cuts per-token indexer FLOPs ~2.9× at 1M, MIT-licensed open weights. Re-verified 2026-06-22.
