TL;DR

Zhipu’s GLM 5.2—free to download and run on your own servers—posts near parity with Anthropic Opus 4.8 on a key agentic benchmark at about one-fifth the cost, fueling demand as token spend climbs and governments curb rivals; with Anthropic Fable and OpenAI GPT-5.6 limited, the open-source model intensifies pricing pressure on frontier labs and shifts incentives toward efficiency over raw token power.
