GLM-4.5
GLM-4.5 made the “native agent model” an explicit family direction while releasing both base and chat weights.
FAMILY / Z.AI
Z.ai’s open model family, increasingly focused on reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agent engineering.

GLM-4.5 made the “native agent model” an explicit family direction while releasing both base and chat weights.
The open successor to GLM-4.5 with continued gains in coding, reasoning, and agent tasks.
GLM-5 shifted long-horizon agent evaluation from single code generations toward complete engineering tasks.
A GLM-5 update for long-horizon work, designed to execute autonomously for hours within one task.
Extended context to 1M and optimized for large codebases, long documents, and project-scale agent work.
GLM-5.3 is a clear case of major agent gains coming from scaled post-training without changing the base model.
It uses a new base model and 1M context to deliver GLM-5 long-horizon agent capability at lower inference cost.
