Andrew Chen Reviews GLM 5.2

Andrew Chen shared his experience playing with GLM 5.2 over the past week, calling it highly competitive. He remarked that if he could put it in a desktop box, he might not need anything else.
He later added a more cautious perspective: while every generation of frontier or adjacent LLMs makes us feel they are "already enough," humans will keep inventing new compute-dependent applications, meaning we will endlessly chase the next, more powerful model.
