Here's the issue:
GLM 5.2 is better, also cheaper, and almost as fast.
So essentially, a big L for Google.
Combine this with them not being able to produce a frontier model this generation... hmm implications
- WarmWash 2mo ago3.6 is roughly 50% faster, which isn't totally insignificant for being marginally more expensive.[1] [1]artificialanalysis.ai
- zwaps 2mo agoSure, but there's no sota alternative from Google. That's it, and its beaten by GLM 5.2 on every measure except somewhat speed. I find that quite staggering. GLM is open weights
- Narkov 2mo agoSpeed is definitely a marketable quality. All these things are a trade-off and solely measuring against SOTA I don't feel is always helpful.
- HDBaseT 2mo agoCounter-point, cost per task is almost the same ($0.47 vs $0.50) between GLM 5.2 and Gemini 3.6 Flash. [0] Not to mention the subscription plans likely produce 10x value compared to GLM 5.2 API, unsure the rate limits on a equal subscription vs subscription, but Google subscriptions offer tons of other value, including 1 year of Free Gemini for Education accounts.
