GLM 5.2 is looking like the first open-weight model in a while that might survive contact with real-world usage, especially for coding and web design. NLW looks at why builders are comparing it to the DeepSeek R1 moment, where the hype is justified, where the cost story is more complicated, and what it means for enterprise AI stacks that can no longer assume a simple OpenAI-versus-Anthropic race.
