355B open MoE with hybrid thinking for AI agents

Visit official page →

About

Zhipu AI (Z.ai)'s open-weight agentic model family: GLM-4.5 (355B total / 32B active) and the smaller GLM-4.5-Air (106B total / 12B active), both Mixture-of-Experts transformers trained on 22T tokens. A hybrid reasoning model — thinking mode for complex reasoning and tool use can be switched on/off. Features function calling and a Claude-API-compatible endpoint for easy integration. 128K input / 96K output context. Official HF repo zai-org/GLM-4.5 (org rebranded from zhipuai to zai-org) ships base, hybrid-reasoning, and FP8 checkpoints under the MIT license (confirmed on the official model card). This is GLM-4.5 (2025), distinct from the newer glm-5-3 already in the catalog.

Specs

Context window

128,000 tokens input / 96,000 tokens output

Pricing

$0.60/$2.20 per 1M input/output tokens, $0.11 cached input (per deeplearning.ai). Note: syndicated press releases claim $0.11/$0.28 — conflicting; prefer deeplearning.ai / current Z.ai pricing page.

Free quota

Weights free to download; free web chat interface at launch.

API access

Yes — Z.ai API Platform (global) and Zhipu AI Open Platform (mainland China); self-host via Hugging Face and ModelScope.

Benchmarks

Provider-reported (HF model card): 63.2 aggregate across 12 industry benchmarks — 3rd overall among proprietary and open models, 1st among open-source. Provider-reported (company press release): SWE-bench Verified 64.2%, Terminal-Bench 37.5%, MATH 500 98.2%, AIME 2024 91.0%, GPQA 79.1%, MMLU Pro 84.6%, tool-invocation reliability 90.6% (vs Claude 89.5%, Kimi K2 86.2%). Independent: broad press corroboration of specs at launch; no independently-run benchmark replication found at research time.

Provider-reported unless a source says otherwise. Benchmarks are marketing-adjacent by nature — treat them as directional.
