GLM 4.6

Z.ai released GLM 4.6 on September 29, 2025. The registry currently records it as open weights.

Compared with GLM-4.5, this generation brings several key improvements:

Longer context window: The context window has been expanded from 128K to 200K tokens, enabling the model to handle more complex agentic tasks. Superior coding performance: The model achieves higher scores on code benchmarks and demonstrates better real-world performance in applications such as Claude Code、Cline、Roo Code and Kilo Code, including improvements in generating visually polished front-end pages. Advanced reasoning: GLM-4.6 shows a clear improvement in reasoning performance and supports tool use during inference, leading to stronger overall capability. More capable agents: GLM-4.6 exhibits stronger performance in tool using and search-based agents, and integrates more effectively within agent frameworks. Refined writing: Better aligns with human preferences in style and readability, and performs more naturally in role-playing scenarios.

The structured profile below stays connected to the canonical model record, including its architecture, parameters, papers, benchmarks, media, licence, and source links as those fields are enriched.
