GLM 5.2 vs Tencent Hunyuan HY3 (HY3): Side-by-Side Tests + Final Verdict
The script compares GLM 5.2 (from ZAI) versus Tencent Hunyuan HY3 (HY3) side by side using multiple generated projects, including game-like demos (Dragon Realm, flight sim, driving game, parachute game) and a Remotion cinematic video. HY3 is described as buggy, laggy, and often lacking detail, requiring hours of back-and-forth to get usable outputs, while GLM 5.2 generally produces smoother, more playable results on the first try. HY3 wins one round where GLM 5.2 fails, but GLM 5.2 wins 6 of 7 tests overall and also has a larger context window (1M tokens vs 256K). HY3’s advantages are free API access (via OpenRouter until July 21) and availability via Hermes Agent, while GLM 5.2 is preferred overall.
