GLM 5.2 Ties with Opus in Enterprise Code Eval
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-07-11
Databricks conducted evaluations using real internal PRs, tests, and million-line codebases rather than relying solely on public benchmarks.
Results show:
- GLM 5.2 entered Databricks' top capability tier, statistically tying in quality with Claude Opus 4.8.
- The quality-cost Pareto frontier for coding tasks features OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-source models, indicating that achieving cutting-edge performance currently requires a multi-model combination.
- For the same model, simply changing the harness/orchestration method can yield about a 2x cost saving.
- Databricks believes open-source models can now handle the most difficult tasks, utilizing Omnigent upfront for multi-harness and multi-model routing.
