According to many benchmarks this model is straight up frontier level and Zai seriously cooked. Some of these numbers are incredible.
Excited to see if this turns out to be a Open Weight Opus 4.5 or better.
According to reports in this thread it is somewhere between Opus 4.7 and 4.8. This is effectively frontier.
The only benchmarks that matters is your actual task.
I've had models that benched poorly but performed great. And I constantly see models at near the top of AA, which are terrible.
There doesn't necessarily seem to be a lot of overlap between benchmarks and real world usage. (Let alone common sense!)
As far as they go, though, these harder benchmarks match my experience more closely:
https://deepswe.datacurve.ai/
and https://cognition.ai/blog/frontier-code
Where we see "top" models drop way down in score when given longer tasks.
That being said, I've had a reasonably pleasant time with GLM-5.2 so far. (And have had an OK time with DeepSeek as well.)
By the time I'm done testing all the Chinese models, they'll be obsolete :)
