Zhipu released GLM-5.2, a language model designed for long-horizon coding tasks with a stable 1M-token context window. The model achieves 81.0 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 (compared to 63.5 for GLM-5.1) and ranks as the highest open-source model on three long-horizon coding benchmarks. The architecture introduces IndexShare, which reduces per-token computation by 2.9× at 1M context length, and users can now select effort levels to balance performance against latency and computational cost.

Researchers compared Kimi K2.7 Code and Claude Fable 5 for generating landing pages, finding that Kimi cost 94% less while producing similar-quality output when provided with design references through a custom MCP server. Kimi averaged 16 times cheaper than Fable 5 and 8 times cheaper than Claude Opus, with a single B2B SaaS landing page costing 4 cents versus $1.09 for Fable. The results suggest open-source models are now competitive alternatives for code generation workflows when given adequate context and visual references.
