GLM 5.2 is in an uncanny valley where it's too big to run at home, too expensive and slow in comparison to similarly capable model (a good chart here - https://deepswe.datacurve.ai/), and that's just comparing API prices.

When looking at subscription offering by Anthropic and OpenAI, it's not even comparable, as a Codex $200 subscription can easily use a billion tokens per week on GPT 5.5 high/xhigh.

It's an interesting model from the perspective of being the most capable open weight model. But it doesn't have a solid place in this marketplace right now.

Thanks, that DeepSWE comparison is really useful. Yeah the Codex $100 plan with xHigh reasoning is very practical and cost efficient.
Sonnet 5 is crazy expensive for the results it gets on higher reasonings, wow.
