Z.ai: GLM 5

GLM-5.3-Prime is the high-speed variant of Z.ai's GLM-5.3, inheriting its full capabilities while delivering 1.5–2× the output throughput through inference acceleration. It supports text input and output with a 1M-token context window and up to 128K output tokens, and targets coding and agentic workloads, including long-horizon multi-turn agent orchestration, real-time conversation, and streaming code generation.

Reasoning is always on and cannot be disabled. Reasoning efforts low, high, and max are supported; max is the default.

GLM-5.3-FlashX is the high-speed variant of Z.ai's GLM-5.3-Flash, a native multimodal model delivering inference speeds of up to 200 tokens/s. Built on the same hybrid sparse and linear attention architecture (320B total parameters, 18B active), it is suited for efficient coding, visual understanding, and long-horizon agent tasks with a 1M-token context window.

This model always redirects to the latest model in the GLM Flash family.

GLM 5.2 is a large-scale reasoning model from Z.ai. It supports text input and output with a 1M-token context window, and is suited for long-horizon agent workflows, project-level software engineering, and complex multi-step automation.

Reasoning efforts high and xhigh are supported; xhigh maps to max reasoning. It is particularly strong at coding and tool use across long-running tasks, able to maintain engineering context and follow standards consistently through a full development workflow, from requirements to multi-platform deployment, in a single task.

GLM-5.1 delivers a major leap in coding capability, with particularly significant gains in handling long-horizon tasks. Unlike previous models built around minute-level interactions, GLM-5.1 can work independently and continuously on a single task for more than 8 hours, autonomously planning, executing, and improving itself throughout the process, ultimately delivering complete, engineering-grade results.

GLM-5V-Turbo is Z.ai’s first native multimodal agent foundation model, built for vision-based coding and agent-driven tasks. It natively handles image, video, and text inputs, excels at long-horizon planning, complex coding, and task execution, and works seamlessly with agents to complete the full loop of “perceive → plan → execute“.

GLM-5 Turbo is a new model from Z.ai designed for fast inference and strong performance in agent-driven environments such as OpenClaw scenarios. It is deeply optimized for real-world agent workflows involving long execution chains, with improved complex instruction decomposition, tool use, scheduled and persistent execution, and overall stability across extended tasks.

GLM-5 is Z.ai’s flagship open-source foundation model engineered for complex systems design and long-horizon agent workflows. Built for expert developers, it delivers production-grade performance on large-scale programming tasks, rivaling leading closed-source models. With advanced agentic planning, deep backend reasoning, and iterative self-correction, GLM-5 moves beyond code generation to full-system construction and autonomous execution.

As a 30B-class SOTA model, GLM-4.7-Flash offers a new option that balances performance and efficiency. It is further optimized for agentic coding use cases, strengthening coding capabilities, long-horizon task planning, and tool collaboration, and has achieved leading performance among open-source models of the same size on several current public benchmark leaderboards.

GLM-4.7 is Z.ai’s latest flagship model, featuring upgrades in two key areas: enhanced programming capabilities and more stable multi-step reasoning/execution. It demonstrates significant improvements in executing complex agent tasks while delivering more natural conversational experiences and superior front-end aesthetics.

GLM-4.6V is a large multimodal model designed for high-fidelity visual understanding and long-context reasoning across images, documents, and mixed media. It supports up to 128K tokens, processes complex page layouts and charts directly as visual inputs, and integrates native multimodal function calling to connect perception with downstream tool execution. The model also enables interleaved image-text generation and UI reconstruction workflows, including screenshot-to-HTML synthesis and iterative visual editing.

Compared with GLM-4.5, this generation brings several key improvements:

Longer context window: The context window has been expanded from 128K to 200K tokens, enabling the model to handle more complex agentic tasks. Superior coding performance: The model achieves higher scores on code benchmarks and demonstrates better real-world performance in applications such as Claude Code、Cline、Roo Code and Kilo Code, including improvements in generating visually polished front-end pages. Advanced reasoning: GLM-4.6 shows a clear improvement in reasoning performance and supports tool use during inference, leading to stronger overall capability. More capable agents: GLM-4.6 exhibits stronger performance in tool using and search-based agents, and integrates more effectively within agent frameworks. Refined writing: Better aligns with human preferences in style and readability, and performs more naturally in role-playing scenarios.

GLM-4.5V is a vision-language foundation model for multimodal agent applications. Built on a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with 106B parameters and 12B activated parameters, it achieves state-of-the-art results in video understanding, image Q&A, OCR, and document parsing, with strong gains in front-end web coding, grounding, and spatial reasoning. It offers a hybrid inference mode: a "thinking mode" for deep reasoning and a "non-thinking mode" for fast responses. Reasoning behavior can be toggled via the reasoning enabled boolean.
