Zhipu's open coding flagship — the budget Claude alternative.
You're looking at an AI model record: who built it, what it can do, and the hardware and data behind it.
GLM-4.5 and 4.6 (2025) are 355B/32B-active MoE models with hybrid reasoning, marketed hard at agentic coding — Zhipu's coding-plan subscriptions undercut Western rivals at a fraction of the price and made GLM a common fallback in coding tools worldwide.
