Watch out

Superseded by GLM-5.3 this pass at the same $1.4/$4.4. The reason to care which one you pull is the licence, not the price: GLM-5.2's weights are reported MIT, GLM-5.3's are not

What we would use it for

What this has cost, week by week

Output price at each refresh since 2026-07-30. A vendor change is the provider changing its price. Our correction means this board changed what it prints and the provider's charge did not move — the two are never merged, because publishing the second as the first would be a price rise that never happened.
