BlockBeats message, June 19 — Tang Jie, founder of Zhipu AI, posted on the X platform that after the official open-source release of GLM-5.2, it has achieved leading results in multiple international authoritative evaluations and competitive leaderboards. In the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index comprehensive assessment, GLM-5.2 scored 51 points, placing it in the same performance range as Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8; in the Code Arena front-end code generation adversarial testing, it ranked No. 2 globally with an Elo of 1595; in the DesignArena design-and-code integrated scenarios, it scored 1360 points to take first place.

Overall, Zhipu’s GLM-5.2 has continued to remain at the forefront globally in real-world scenario evaluations such as front-end development, design generation, and software engineering, gradually narrowing the performance gap with leading models such as OpenAI and Anthropic, and will continue to push up the upper limit of model capabilities. Previously, in response to Elon Musk’s view that China’s large models could reach Anthropic’s Fable level in the first quarter of next year, Tang Jie, founder of Zhipu AI, responded, saying, “It won’t take that long.”
