Zhipu, a Chinese artificial intelligence company, has unveiled its latest open model, GLM-5.2. In a recent evaluation of AI agents, it narrowly trailed behind Claude Opus 4.8 by just a single point, yet it is priced approximately five times lower. The next iteration, GLM-5.5, is anticipated to be released in August. Following the introduction of the budget-friendly DeepSeek by Nvidia, the company's shares plummeted by 17%, resulting in a staggering $600 billion loss in market capitalization. Should Zhipu challenge the massive investments in AI by the United States, the market could experience a similar downturn.
