GLM-5.2
the top-ranked open-weight model on the intelligence index, under plain unmodified mit, with a launch post that tells the truth.
first on capability and first on licence at the same time, which almost never happens — this is the default open-weight choice right now.
zhipu's launch material claims 'pure open' with 'no regional limits', and the licence file is standard unmodified mit text with a 2026 copyright line. no revenue cap, no field-of-use clause, no geographic carve-out, no attribution mandate beyond keeping the notice. of the fourteen models here, this is one of the few where the marketing and the legal text say the same thing.
it also currently sits at the top of the artificial analysis intelligence index among open-weight models, having displaced kimi k2.6. it is a 753b sparse mixture-of-experts with roughly 40b active, a full one-million-token context, and it is built for long-horizon agentic and coding work rather than chat.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

first on capability and first on licence at the same time, which almost never happens — this is the default open-weight choice right now.
we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
