I've been using GLM-5.2 extensively over the past few days, primarily for software engineering tasks through OpenCode and Hermes-Agent, and it has genuinely impressed me.
The biggest compliment I can give is that, during many coding sessions, it gave me a similar feeling to using Claude Opus. Not because the models are identical, but because of how reliably it understands context, follows complex instructions, and completes multi-step engineering tasks.
I also tested it through Ollama Cloud using an API key, and the experience was consistently solid across different environments.
What I appreciate most is that the team decided to open-source such a capable model. The AI community benefits enormously when high-quality foundation models are openly available, and I wanted to leave a review simply to thank and recognize the work that went into this release.
Looking forward to seeing how the project evolves.
