GLM-5.2 is Fully Open, Frontier Intelligence Belongs to Everyone Today, the sudden restriction of certain frontier models is deeply regrettable. At a time when access to frontier models is abruptly cut off for non-technical reasons, we are even more convinced of one thing: science should be global. The path to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) must never be enclosed by high walls. We have always believed that AGI should be the cornerstone for all of humanity to collaboratively explore the boundaries of intelligence and solve complex challenges, rather than a privilege monopolized by a few rules and subject to revocation at any moment. In the face of external blockades and restrictions, our attitude is one of radical openness. Frontier intelligence must remain open-source, accessible, and buildable, serving every dedicated developer. GLM-5.2 is Zhipu's most capable open-source model to date. It not only supports a truly usable 1M context window but also maintains a continuous lead in the independent completion of long-horizon tasks, providing solid foundational support for building complex agent applications. It also continues to be our main engine for creating the strongest domestic coding model. Tonight at 5:21—at this special moment—GLM-5.2 will officially be available to all GLM Coding Plan users (including Lite / Pro / Max). The API will also go live next week. A step closer to frontier intelligence for everyone. The future of AI is open, and it is for the people. ModelKey: GLM-5.2

Intelligence should be open, accessible, and ready to build with, empowering every developer, everywhere. GLM-5.2 is now available to all GLM Coding Plan users, including Lite, Pro, Max, and Team plans. docs.z.ai/devpack/latest-mod… As our new flagship model, GLM-5.2 delivers powerful coding capabilities, usable 1M-context support, and continued strengths in long-horizon tasks. API and Chatbot services will launch next week. The model will also be officially open-sourced next week under the MIT License. The future of AI is open, and it belongs to the people.

GLM-5.1-highspeed is coming, 400 tokens per second. Very expensive, but bring a new possibility.

Recent thoughts: The Shift to Long-Horizon Tasks The most likely breakthrough this year will be in long-horizon tasks. We are moving toward a stage where Large Language Models (LLMs) learn to complete extended, complex missions by interacting with Agent environments. This is perhaps where the true value of LLMs lies. Take cybersecurity as an example: imagine a model that continuously hunts for software bugs and vulnerabilities. While it sounds like a search process, it’s actually the model learning the high-level intuition and methodology of a professional hacker. Unlike humans, AI can run 24/7 without fatigue. It could potentially find exploits at a much higher frequwill ency and claim bounties on platforms like HackerOne or BugCrowd. It sounds fun, but fundamentally, it's a revolution that displaces the hacker. If even hackers are being "disrupted," one can only imagine the impact on general programmers. From One-Person to None-Person Companies Building on long-horizon capabilities, Autonomous Agent Systems (AAS) will inevitably become the next frontier. Last year, we were discussing the rise of the "One Person Company" (OPC). I didn't expect us to move so quickly toward the "None Person Company" (NPC). It’s an ironic twist—we might all end up as NPCs in this new ecosystem. Engineering the Impossible: Memory and Learning To realize the vision above, we must solve three technical pillars: Memory, Continual Learning, and Self-Judging. I used to think these would require massive paradigm shifts and years of research. However, the pressure from both the technical and application sides is so intense that we are seeing these capabilities emerge through ingenious engineering "tricks": Memory: Long context windows (1M ) and RAG have significantly bridged the gap. Continual Learning: While true continual learning remains difficult, the release cycles are shrinking. Global models are updated monthly; domestic models are catching up. If we reach weekly updates by next year, it will effectively function as continual learning. Self-Judging: This remains the most elusive, yet models like Opus 4.7 are already demonstrating early self-correction and judgment capabilities. The Self-Evolving Endgame The most difficult—and most promising—path is Self-Evolution. The current wave is incredibly fierce. I suspect that models like Claude may have already achieved a baseline for self-training: writing their own code, cleaning their own data, generating synthetic data, and then training on it. It might "waste" some compute, but it saves the most precious resources: human labor and time. In the LLM era, speed is everything. Rapid iteration is what creates the cognitive gap between leaders and followers. Claude’s rumored 2-million-chip cluster for next year is likely dedicated to exactly this: autonomous model self-training. Technical Summary: 1M Context: Necessary baseline. Memory & Continual Learning: Prerequisites, likely solved first via "tricky" engineering. Harnessing Environments: The breakthrough point. Self-Judging: The tipping point. Full Self-Training: The endgame. Redefining AGI and the Industry If this is the road to AGI, then AGI’s definition should be the sum of all human collective intelligence, not just an individual’s intelligence. It must possess the creative capacity to produce something as profound as the "Theory of Relativity"—meeting the bar set by Hassabis. During this transition, every APP will need to be reconstructed as AI-native. In fact, we might move past the concept of APPs entirely. The most significant challenge will be the reconstruction of the operating system itself. In the future, you won’t see a traditional desktop; you will see an LLM OS, where applications are "generated on demand." This challenges the 80-year-old Von Neumann architecture and represents a total upheaval of the computer science industry. The Irreversible Wave From completing long-horizon tasks to fully autonomous operations, every sector—Security, Finance, Law, E-commerce—will be reshaped. Many friends have reached out lately, asking how to transform their enterprises to keep pace with AI. But few truly realize that this irreversible process has already begun. As this massive technical wave hits, we must be prepared to act, but we must also start thinking seriously about how to regulate it.

coding is all you need

Scaling laws push model capability forward. But whether that capability becomes reliable in production depends on how we handle Scaling Pain. z.ai/blog/scaling-pain In our latest blog, we share how we debugged GLM-5 serving at scale: reproducing rare garbled outputs, repetition, and rare-character generation; tracing and eliminating KV Cache race conditions; fixing HiCache synchronization issues; and introducing LayerSplit for up to 132% throughput improvement. We hope these lessons help the community avoid similar pitfalls and build more robust inference infrastructure.

Is it driven by LLM?

nice. IMO model

welcome to give it a try. hmmmm... indeed too many users and short of GPUs....

GLM 5.1 is coming huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-5…. Coding is the cornersone and Long Horizon Task (LHT) is the new feature this time. focus more on 1. memory 2. evolving/continual learning 3. self judge/reflextion.

looks super github.com/milla-jovovich/me…

toward long horizon tasks
