South China Morning Post · Hong Kong · Zhipu AI releases GLM-5.2 open-weight under MIT licence, beating GPT-5.5 on coding at one-sixth the cost
SCMP reports Zhipu's Hong Kong-listed parent stock surged after the release, with analysts framing GLM-5.2 as both a commercial product and a geopolitical statement timed to the Fable 5 ban controversy. The piece notes that GLM-5.2's MIT licence allows any country to deploy without a US export control licence, directly circumventing the mechanism the US used to restrict Fable 5 access.
