GLM vs Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek: How Zhipu’s Open Model Compares

GLM-5.2 is the top open-weight model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, ranking 4th overall while costing a fraction of the closed flagships, and that gap is why the GLM vs Claude question has spread into a much bigger fight. Zhipu AI’s open-weight model costs $1.40 input / $4.40 output per million tokens against Claude Opus 4.8 at $5 / $25, ships under a permissive MIT license, and now trades benchmark wins with models from OpenAI, Google, xAI and DeepSeek. So the real question is not just GLM vs Claude. It is whether an open-weight model at a fraction of the cost can stand in for any of the big […]

GLM 5.5: Release Rumors and What to Expect Next

GLM 5.5 is reportedly expected in August 2026, according to a June 30 report from CGTN on Zhipu AI. That would make it the direct successor to GLM-5.2, the open-weight model that shipped on June 13 and immediately became the highest-scoring open-source model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with a score of 51. Zhipu has not published an official launch date, so August is a strong signal rather than a locked promise. This article pulls together every credible signal on GLM 5.5 in one place. You will get the reported timing, the release cadence that backs it up, a clear-eyed view of what the specs and price are likely […]

GLM Pricing in 2026: API Costs, Coding Plan, and Free Tier Explained

GLM pricing is the headline reason developers keep switching to Zhipu AI’s models. The flagship GLM-5.2 costs just $1.40 per million input tokens and $4.40 per million output on the official API, roughly one-sixth of what GPT-5.5 charges, and the older GLM-4.7 is cheaper still. You can also use GLM free in the browser, and two of the models cost nothing at all through the API. This guide breaks down every way you pay for GLM in 2026: the free tier, the per-token API rates for each model, and the GLM Coding Plan subscription that starts at $18 a month. We finish with a cost comparison against Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini […]

What Is GLM? Every Zhipu AI’s Open Model Explained

GLM is the family of large language models built by Zhipu AI, the Chinese lab now trading as Z.ai. If you typed “what is GLM” expecting the statistics term or the Bosch laser measure, this is the other one: GLM is a direct open-weight rival to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, and its current flagship GLM-5.2 scores high enough on independent benchmarks to sit in the same conversation as models that cost six times more to run. The reason GLM matters to you is simple. Every model in the family is open-weight and MIT-licensed, so anyone can download it, run it, or build on it for free, and the paid API […]
