GLM-5 vs. Actable AI

GLM-5 is Z.ai’s most advanced open-source model to date, purpose-built for complex systems engineering, long-horizon planning, and autonomous agent workflows. Building on the foundation of GLM-4.5, it dramatically scales both total parameters and pre-training data while increasing active parameter efficiency. The integration of DeepSeek Sparse Attention allows GLM-5 to maintain strong long-context reasoning capabilities while reducing deployment costs. To improve post-training performance, Z.ai developed slime, an asynchronous reinforcement learning infrastructure that significantly boosts training throughput and iteration speed. As a result, GLM-5 achieves top-tier performance among open-source models across reasoning, coding, and general agent benchmarks. It demonstrates exceptional strength in long-term operational simulations, including leading results on Vending Bench 2, where it manages a year-long simulated business with strong financial outcomes. In coding evaluations such as SWE-bench and Terminal-Bench 2.0, GLM-5 delivers competitive results that narrow the gap with proprietary frontier systems. The model is fully open-sourced under the MIT License and available through Hugging Face, ModelScope, and Z.ai’s developer platforms. Developers can deploy GLM-5 locally using inference frameworks like vLLM and SGLang, including support for non-NVIDIA hardware through optimization and quantization techniques. Through Z.ai, users can access both Chat Mode for fast interactions and Agent Mode for tool-augmented, multi-step task execution. GLM-5 also enables structured document generation, producing ready-to-use .docx, .pdf, and .xlsx files for business and academic workflows. With compatibility across coding agents and cross-application automation frameworks, GLM-5 moves foundation models from conversational assistants toward full-scale work engines.

Utilizing state-of-the-art open-source AutoML technology, we streamline the development of high-quality models while eliminating common complexities. Our methodology integrates Deep Learning with pre-trained models to boost intelligence at every turn. By merging Causal AI with AutoML, we promote fairness, support causal inference, and allow for counterfactual predictions. All models can be rapidly deployed for real-time use via the web or an API. We also deliver in-depth insights into feature significance and model interpretations through Shapley values. Our fully open-source AI framework enables thorough auditing and broad applicability of our algorithms across various domains. We skillfully categorize customers or products into similar groups, enriched by a wide variety of features. Through the examination of historical data, we identify temporal patterns to produce precise future predictions. Moreover, we create predictive models using labeled data that can accurately deduce outcomes for unlabeled datasets, significantly boosting our forecasting abilities. This groundbreaking platform not only empowers users but also fosters a culture of informed decision-making based on reliable data analyses, ultimately enhancing business strategies.
