If we’re just talking price, DeepSeek is unbeatable. The king of cost-performance. The new Doubao Seed 2.1 Pro is only *slightly* cheaper than the GLM 5.2. But its ratings are a bit behind, and it doesn’t have the 1M context window that the GLM 5.2 offers. However, Doubao has one killer feature: its innate multimodal capability (just look at what it was built for). In this aspect, GLM really can’t compete (still a blind spot for them).
