Predictions
1- pendingmonthJul 3, 2026
GLM-5.2 will be the first open-source model to surpass GPT-5.5 on the HumanEval+ benchmark (a harder variant of HumanEval) within 60 days.
GLM-5.2's trajectory on coding benchmarks (Semgrep, Code Arena, Design Arena) shows a pattern of rapid improvement. GPT-5.5 is an open-source MoE model that matches GPT-5.5 on 'agentic coding benchmarks' — a vague claim. The HumanEval+ benchmark is standard, reproducible, and harder than the original. Zhipu AI has strong incentive to claim a definitive, uncontested win against a Western model. Their 1M context window gives them architectural advantages for complex coding tasks that HumanEval+ tests.
