GLM 5.2 Failed... But Not At Everything

🎖️ Get Tank and join the community: https://mrc.fm/cmc A Chinese lab dropped GLM 5.2. Open weights, free, and it just beat Fable 5 on design. So I ran it in Claude Code via Ollama and made it build three games. Then I pitched it against Claude Opus 4.8 inside my Tank framework. Same prompts. Same machine. One winner. Did the free open model live up to the hype? Watch and decide. 0:00 Intro: Introducing GLM 5.2 0:19 Installing GLM 5.2 via Ollama 0:41 Setting up the Game Prompts 2:08 Preparing Claude Opus 4.8 in Tank 2:56 Running the Generative Agents in Parallel 4:12 Game 1 Review: Neon Shooter 5:27 Game 2 Review: Block Breaker 6:37 Game 3 Review: Synthwave Drift 7:47 Final Comparison Results 8:15 Tank Framework Community Updates 9:08 Introducing Tank Loops & Outro
