alphaXiv(@askalphaxiv):Here’s a fun comparison between GLM 5.2 and Opus 4.8 on a one-shot reproduction of the SDPO paper This is a hard task: the model must resolve messy verl issues and then run ablations to completion and confirm the paper’s claims. - GLM 5.2 costs $6.21 while Opus 4.8 cost us $46.35 - Both models spent a bulk of their tokens resolving initial verl issues. GLM 5.2 attempted 14 failed runs before first success while Opus 4.8 attempted 9 runs. - GLM 5.2 surprisingly took 2.65M tokens (excl re-reads) compared to 4.53M tokens for Opus 4.8
