Z.ai · A model to run on your own server

GLM-5.2

Model files can be downloaded and run on your own server, giving organizations greater control over their data. However, this requires very powerful hardware.

Compare with another model

Costs
Variable · online service $1.40 per million input tokens and $4.40 per million output tokens; self-hosting requires powerful hardware
Speed
Medium to slow; generates large amounts of text
Availability
It can be downloaded, modified and also used through several online services
Input length
Very long input · up to 1 million tokens (small pieces of text)
Inputs
Primarily text; depends on how it is run

Data checked . Release date unverified.

Indicative capability profile

Where the model is strong

The five levels are our clear summary of the results below. They are not a ranking that applies to every task.

Analysis Very good at solving specialist problems among downloadable models.
Coding Good results in SciCode and terminal tasks.
Autonomous work across multiple steps Suitable for autonomous work in multiple steps under your own supervision.
Writing and content The main advantage is the ability to self-host, not text writing.
Speed Produces long outputs and is demanding to self-host.

Ideal use

When to choose it

  • Running on your own or a rented server
  • Working with sensitive data that must remain under the company's control
  • Multi-step tasks with the option to modify the model

Usage boundaries

When to choose another model

  • Running on a standard personal computer
  • Teams that do not want to manage powerful servers

Traceable supporting sources

Data and measurement sources

Distinguish between the manufacturer's documentation and the results of a specific test. Measurements also depend on the settings and the task set used.

important update

Kimi K3 from Moonshot AI is newly available on the Amazon Bedrock platform

New: Kimi K3 is now available on Amazon Bedrock as a new distribution channel; The model supports prompt caching on Bedrock; Data in AWS Bedrock is protected by the AWS data boundary without being shared with the provider; The Bedrock deployment optimizes the model for long coding and knowledge workflows

Developers can try Kimi K3 through the API or through tools such as OpenCode for agentic programming tasks with long context, but must account for a higher price per token than with previous Kimi models.

Companies can deploy Kimi K3 through Amazon Bedrock with data protection from AWS without needing their own GPU infrastructure, or host the model themselves on instances with 8 NVIDIA B300 GPUs – but both options involve higher costs than earlier open Kimi models.

Anthropic worth noting

Frontier Red Team at Anthropic: GLM-5.3 and Claude Mythos Preview have crossed a threshold in binary exploitation capabilities

Companies working on security, red-teaming or compliance for AI systems are receiving a signal that the latest models have crossed a threshold in offensive cyber capabilities (control flow hijack), which is relevant to assessing the risks of AI misuse and setting security policies around the deployment of these models.
