GLM-5V-Turbo

by Z.ai

Released 17 days after GLM-5-Turbo Β· All Z.ai releases

GLM-5V-Turbo is Z.ai's native multimodal model, released April 1, 2026 and architected to treat visual understanding as a first-class input alongside text, video, and file attachments. It builds on the GLM-5 architecture (744 billion parameters, around 40 billion active), supports a 200,000-token context window with up to 128,000-token output, and uses a custom vision encoder called CogViT for multimodal agentic reasoning. The model is tuned for design-to-code generation, converting design mockups and screenshots into working front-end code. On Z.ai's reported Design2Code benchmark it scores 94.8 against Claude Opus 4.6's 77.3, and it is built to explore and recreate user interfaces from visual analysis, spotting rendering issues and proposing fixes from screenshots. GLM-5V-Turbo keeps the agentic strengths of GLM-5-Turbo, including thinking modes, tool calling, structured output, context caching, and MCP integration, while adding visual processing for GUI automation and agentic browsing tasks. Its training spans multimodal and visual-reasoning data, letting it handle complex layouts, diagrams, and design systems without losing text-coding ability. Aimed at teams building vision-grounded agentic systems, it bridges visual perception and code generation for front-end development, UI testing, and autonomous web interaction alongside text-based reasoning.

Uptime and availability

One of GLM-5V-Turbo's 2 routes is on the monitoring board, so the figure below is that provider's availability rather than the model's.

100%route uptime, last 30 days
Its other routes aren't measured here yet.

Name a second model in the same request and the gateway tries it on retriable errors, so a busy hour never has to reach your users. .

Measured over the last 30 days from each provider's official status feed via StatusGator. Refreshed hourly. 1 further route is not on the board yet. See uptime for every provider qynio monitors.

Data handling per route

Each route hosting GLM-5V-Turbo has its own privacy posture, residency, and no-KYC terms. Postures are maintained by qynio with a last-verification timestamp.

Get started

Call GLM-5V-Turbo 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: "novita/zai-org/glm-5v-turbo",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
