Where GLM Actually Stands
2026-10-01
Below: the paragraph from the book that builds this idea, then the diagram itself, and a recap. About a minute of reading.
Cursor's listed price for "GLM 5.2" matches Artificial Analysis's pricing for GLM-5.3, not a separately confirmed GLM-5.2 price point. That may simply mean the two models are priced identically on Z.ai's own price list, which Chapter 5 confirms is the case for GLM-5.3, GLM-5.2, and GLM-5.1 alike. Or it may mean Cursor has not split its 5.2 and 5.3 listings apart yet. This book states the discrepancy rather than guessing which explanation is correct, since neither Cursor nor Artificial Analysis has published a note resolving it.
