GLM 5.2 vs. Opus

https://techstackups.com/img/comparisons/glm-5.2-vs-opus/cover.jpg
GLM-5.2 is a strong open model that can perform long-horizon tasks at a fraction of the cost of closed models like Claude Opus 4.8, but it's text-only and can't verify its work visually. GLM-5.2 is suitable for tasks that are mostly text and logic, while Opus is better for tasks that require correctness, polish, and visual judgment, and GLM-5.2 should be kept in the arsenal due to its ...
