GLM 5.2 Goes Free for eve Agents
Vercel is offering GLM 5.2 through Blackbox on AI Gateway at no cost for eve agents until August 27. It delivers speeds up to 500 TPS and becomes the default model for newly created eve agents.
This is a smart way to lower the barrier to experimenting with long-context, agentic coding models, though developers should treat the promotion as temporary infrastructure.
- –The `zai/glm-5.2` model ID makes switching straightforward in `agent.ts`
- –Up to 500 TPS could improve responsiveness in tool-heavy agent loops
- –Making it the default gives new eve projects a capable starting point without provider configuration
- –Developers should benchmark quality, latency, and reliability before building production dependencies around a time-limited offer
- –GLM 5.2’s 1M-token context and open-weight foundation make it especially relevant for repository-scale coding agents
