GLM 5
Z.ai
GLM 5 is a frontier-class, general-purpose large language model optimized for complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks. It builds on the GLM 4.5 agent-centric lineage and is designed to support multi-step reasoning, math (including AIME-style benchmarks), advanced coding, and tool-augmented workflows, with long context support suitable for sophisticated agents and enterprise applications. Typical uses include autonomous agents for software engineering, data and systems troubleshooting, operations copilots, and high-end chat assistants that must break down complex tasks, call tools reliably, and reason over long sequences of instructions or documents.
