Model Overview
Capabilities, design details, and architectural traits
GLM 5 - Agentic Engineering Foundation Model
GLM 5 is Z.AI's (Zhipu AI) next-generation foundation model explicitly designed to transition the paradigm of "vibe coding" to agentic engineering - shifting from passive code generation toward autonomous, long-horizon software engineering execution.
Reasoning & Execution
GLM 5 builds on the ARC (Agentic, Reasoning, and Coding) capabilities of its predecessor. The Slime framework enables the model to continuously improve through extended interaction chains - not isolated turn-by-turn feedback. The model supports switchable thinking modes (enabled / disabled) per request via the API.
