GLM-5.2 just dropped open weights and it already looks weirdly strong for coding

Summary

GLM-5.2 has been released with open weights under MIT license, featuring a 1M context window and two reasoning effort modes. Early benchmarks show it performing strongly in coding tasks, making it worth testing beyond benchmark screenshots.

GLM-5.2 just released and the early numbers look pretty insane. 1M context window, open weights, MIT license, two reasoning effort modes, and it is already showing up near the top of coding arenas. I know every new model gets hyped for 24 hours, but this one actually looks worth testing because it is not just another API only model. Has anyone here tried it on real repo work yet? I’m curious if it actually holds up outside benchmark screenshots.
