GLM-5

zai-org/glm-5
GLM-5 is an open-source foundation model engineered for complex system engineering and long-horizon Agent tasks, delivering reliable productivity for top-tier programmers. Transcending the boundary from "writing code" to "building systems," it moves beyond traditional snippet generation to offer senior-architect-level planning and execution capabilities. By rejecting the "frontend-heavy, logic-light" approach, GLM-5 demonstrates exceptional reasoning and self-healing abilities in backend refactoring, complex algorithm implementation, and deep debugging—autonomously analyzing logs and iteratively fixing persistent bugs until the system runs. As the first open-source model featuring Opus-class style and system engineering depth, GLM-5 provides extreme logic density alongside the freedom of local deployment and high cost-effectiveness, making it the ideal choice for large-scale backend development and automated Agent construction.
