have you tried 5.2? I agree that 5.1 and prior were below Kimi, Mimo, Qwen, Minimax, and probably Deepseek (depending on task), but 5.2 (especially unquantized) feels like something else.

Now I feel like that I'm covered by GLM 5.2 and Minimax M3 (when I need vision or a second pass on something).

Same. I asked it my Pac-Man question and it was the first to DNF.

It just goes off getting confused about how to design the map for 15 minutes and then times out.

Bad for security research or for general coding?

Having used GLM 5.2 for non-security software work, I can say it's better than Sonnet (but not Opus), and cheaper than both (because when you steal someone else's IP, you don't have to amortize the cost of their R&D).
