Compare GLM 5.2 from Z.AI and Hy3 Preview from Hunyuan 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
Hy3 PreviewGLM-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.
Hunyuan Hy3 preview is designed for agent workloads, adopting a MoE architecture with 295B capacity and 21B activated parameters. It provides three modes within the same model—no_think (ultra-fast response), think_low (fast thinking), and think_high (deep reasoning)—to accommodate different latency and depth requirements from high-frequency interactions to complex engineering tasks. On code benchmarks such as SWE-bench Verified it approaches the current state of the art, and its 256K context supports cross-file code refactoring and long-document analysis. It is suitable for developers who require reliable task completion while being sensitive to inference costs.
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.

GLM 5.2 accepts 1,000,000 and Hy3 Preview accepts 256,000 input tokens. Maximum output per request is 128,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 128,000 tokens on Hy3 Preview.
Hy3 Preview at 40.2 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; Hy3 Preview accepts text input and supports tool calling, function calling, structured outputs, web search, long context and thinking.
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.
