alt Hacker News> On the Intelligence vs. Cost per Task Pareto Frontier: GLM-5.2 is on the Pareto frontier of the Intelligence vs Cost per Task chart, with the lowest cost per task among models at its intelligence level. GLM-5.2 costs ~$0.46 per task, compared to GLM-5.1 ($0.25), Kimi K2.6 ($0.31), MiniMax-M3 ($0.18) and DeepSeek V4 Pro (max, $0.05)
am i missing something?

Some models are heavily subsidized. Total params & active params are better measurement of inference cost.

I think they’ve just picked poor peer examples. Instead of choosing other models near 5.2 on the intelligence scale, they’ve picked some open models from further down the scale.
