About this model

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.

Replaces GLM 4.7: input $0.63 → $1.05 per 1M (+67%), output $2.31 → $3.36 per 1M (+45%), context 200K → 203K, max output 120K → 131K.

Platform-funded routing only. Caller BYOK credentials and OIDC-based upstream authentication are intentionally excluded; authenticate with a MiniRouter bearer key.

Captured parameters: max_tokens, temperature, stop, tools, tool_choice, reasoning, include_reasoning, response_format, structured_outputs.

Structured output: JSON Schema and JSON mode enforced on verified providers. How it works
