Summary
How to Use GLM 5.2 for Free on Zed AI (Plus Benchmarks vs Opus 4.8)The video explains how to access and use the open-source GLM 5.2 model for free through Zed AI (z.ai), noting token limits and showing how to select GLM 5.2 in chat or agent mode, enable web search, attach images, and switch between high/max and thinking/non-thinking settings. The creator describes GLM 5.2 as a frontier-level Chinese model with a million-token context window, released June 14, available as open weights on Hugging Face, and shares benchmark results (21 tasks, 8.23/10 on Goldy Bench) alongside comparisons where it can outperform Claude Opus 4.8 on UI/design tasks and beat Kimi K 2.7. Examples include generating playable 3D and open-world games, websites, and a working operating system with apps. They note Zed AI can be slow, recommend using a CLI via an Agent OS, and promote the AI Profit Boardroom community for tutorials and setup. 00:00 Free GLM 5.2 Access 00:18 Zed AI Setup Tour 01:08 Agent Mode Build Demo 01:27 Why GLM 5.2 Matters 01:49 Benchmarks and Specs 02:36 What It Can Build 03:59 Full OS Example 04:47 Best Way to Use It 05:11 Opus vs GLM Showdown 06:53 Tradeoffs and Self Hosting 07:56 GLM vs Kimi Comparison 09:07 Open Source Turning Point 10:10 Community and Tutorials Pitch 11:49 Wrap Up
