02 / GENERATIONS

What changed

01

GLM-4.5

GLM-4.5 made the “native agent model” an explicit family direction while releasing both base and chat weights.

02

GLM-4.7

The open successor to GLM-4.5 with continued gains in coding, reasoning, and agent tasks.

03

GLM-5

GLM-5 shifted long-horizon agent evaluation from single code generations toward complete engineering tasks.

04

GLM-5.1

A GLM-5 update for long-horizon work, designed to execute autonomously for hours within one task.

05

GLM-5.2

Extended context to 1M and optimized for large codebases, long documents, and project-scale agent work.

06

GLM-5.3

GLM-5.3 is a clear case of major agent gains coming from scaled post-training without changing the base model.

07

GLM-5.3-Flash

It uses a new base model and 1M context to deliver GLM-5 long-horizon agent capability at lower inference cost.
