How we built the new fastest API for GLM-5.2
Baseten optimized its GLM-5.2 API to achieve peak throughput of 280 tokens per second.
What: Baseten has improved its GLM-5.2 inference speed by over 100% compared to its launch-day performance, targeting lower latency for coding and agentic workflows.
Why it matters: Inference speed is increasingly becoming the primary competitive differentiator for model hosting providers as agents require rapid feedback loops.
Original article
Baseten's API for GLM-5.2 has peak speeds of 280 tokens per second and average speeds of around 100 tokens per second. It has more than double the performance of the launch-day API. The company has also built a Fast version of the API, which is focused on reducing latency for coding and agents. It plans to roll out another improvement to its speculative decoding algorithm soon that will further optimize the performance of GLM-5.2.
