GLM-5.2
According to BenchLM.ai, GLM-5.2 ranks #3 out of 124 models on the provisional leaderboard with an overall score of 94/100. It also ranks #9 out of 33 on the verified leaderboard. This places it among the top tier of AI models available in 2026, competing directly with the strongest models from leading AI labs.
GLM-5.2 is a open weight model with a 1M token context window. It uses explicit chain-of-thought reasoning, which typically improves performance on math and complex reasoning tasks at the cost of higher latency and token usage.
GLM-5.2 sits inside the GLM-5 family alongside GLM-5, GLM-5 (Reasoning), GLM-5.1, GLM-5V-Turbo, GLM-5-Turbo. BenchLM links it directly to GLM-5.1 as the earlier related model in that lineage. This profile currently has 16 of 247 tracked benchmarks. BenchLM only exposes non-generated benchmark rows publicly, so missing categories stay blank until a sourced evaluation is available.
