GLM-5

GLM-5 is a next-generation open-source large language model (LLM) developed by the Z .ai team under the zai-org organization that pushes the boundaries of reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agentic intelligence. Building on earlier GLM series models, GLM-5 dramatically scales the parameter count (to roughly 744 billion) and expands pre-training data to significantly improve performance on complex tasks such as multi-step reasoning, software engineering workflows, and agent orchestration compared to its predecessors like GLM-4.5. It incorporates innovations like DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) to preserve massive context windows while reducing deployment costs and supporting long context processing, which is crucial for detailed plans and agent tasks.
