GLM 4.6

by Z.ai

Released 50 days after GLM 4.5V Β· All Z.ai releases

GLM 4.6 is Zhipu's iterative advance over GLM-4.5, with 357 billion total parameters (32 billion active) in a Mixture-of-Experts configuration tuned for extended reasoning and agent workflows. Its 200K context window, with up to 128K output, supports long documents, multi-turn technical conversations, and complex tool-driven agentic systems. Released September 2025, GLM 4.6 improves coding performance, function calling, and search-based agent integration over GLM-4.5, making it well suited to retrieval-augmented generation, support automation, and information synthesis. It keeps the bilingual training and hybrid reasoning design of the earlier release, balancing depth and speed. Available as open weights under an MIT license, GLM 4.6 targets developers building production agents that need deeper context for sophisticated multi-step reasoning, tool coordination, and long-horizon planning, including code review automation, document-heavy question answering, and multi-document reasoning.

Get started

Call GLM 4.6 through the qynio gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly β€” qynio is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up qynio for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.QYN_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.qyn.io/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "deepinfra/zai-org/GLM-4.6",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
