GLM-5.2 OpenAI-Compatible API: A Hands-On Guide to Reasoning Effort, Function Calling, and Long-Context Retrieval

Summary

<p>We build a practical GLM-5.2 workflow using its hosted, OpenAI-compatible API instead of running the model locally. We set up multiple providers, load the API key securely, and create a reusable chat wrapper. We then test thinking-effort control, streamed reasoning, function calling, a tool-using agent, structured JSON output, and long-context retrieval. We close with token and cost accounting so every demo stays measurable.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/06/22/glm-5-2-openai-compatible-api-a-hands-on-guide-to-reasoning-effort-function-calling-and-long-context-retrieval/">GLM-5.2 OpenAI-Compatible API: A Hands-On Guide to Reasoning Effort, Function Calling, and Long-Context Retrieval</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.marktechpost.com">MarkTechPost</a>.</p>
