China's New AI Model Just Got Way Cheaper Than GPT and Claude

Z.ai's GLM-5.2 model is matching top AI systems like GPT and Claude at a fraction of the cost.

What This Means for Small Business

For small business owners, this is the moment AI stops being a luxury and becomes a tool anyone can afford to use. Cheaper high-performing models mean:

• Lower costs for AI chatbots and automation
• More competition driving prices down further
• Access to enterprise-grade AI for small budgets

Erogian builds AI-powered websites and chatbots that take advantage of these cost efficiencies, passing the savings to Nigerian businesses.
