Compare GLM 5.2 from Z.AI and GPT 5.6 Sol Disc from OpenAI on key metrics including benchmarks, price, context length, and other model features. Access both models and hundreds of others through the AIHubMix API.
GLM 5.2
GPT 5.6 Sol DiscGLM-5.2 is Z.ai’s flagship model for the era of long-horizon tasks. With a truly usable 1M-token context window, it can handle project-level engineering context, execute long-running tasks more reliably, follow engineering standards more consistently, and complete the full development workflow from requirements to multi-platform deployment in a single task.
GPT-5.6 Sol (limited-time 50% off) is OpenAI’s frontier reasoning model for complex coding, professional knowledge work, deep research, and long-running agents. It supports a roughly 1.05M-token context window, image understanding, and extensive tool use. Compared with Terra and Luna, Sol prioritizes capability and reliability on demanding tasks.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.
Estimate your monthly bill for the same workload on each model.
Monthly = daily × 30. Discounted rates applied where a promotion is active.

GLM 5.2: 0.7s time to first token measured on AIHubMix; see the live performance charts above for how each model behaves across the day.
GLM 5.2 accepts 1,000,000 and GPT 5.6 Sol Disc accepts 1,050,000 input tokens. Maximum output per request is 128,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 128,000 tokens on GPT 5.6 Sol Disc.
GPT 5.6 Sol Disc at 36.9 tok/s and GLM 5.2 at 35.9 tok/s, measured as output throughput on AIHubMix — a separate metric from time to first token.
GLM 5.2 accepts text input and supports thinking, tool calling, function calling and structured outputs; GPT 5.6 Sol Disc accepts text and image input and supports tool calling, thinking and structured outputs.
Yes. AIHubMix serves every model on this page behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so switching between them is a one-line change to the model field — no second account, key or SDK.
