Z.ai / 智谱 model evolution 2026-02-12 GLM-5 The GLM-5 generation advances systems engineering and long-running agent tasks.
Original release ↗ 2026-04-07 GLM-5 → GLM-5.1 The update advances engineering planning, terminal tasks and sustained execution; outcomes still depend on the task and tool configuration.
Original release ↗ 2026-06-16 GLM-5.1 → GLM-5.2 A 1M-token context and selectable reasoning effort accompany further long-task and coding improvements.
Original release ↗ 2026-08-14 GLM-5.2 → GLM-5.3 Post-training advances complex engineering and agent tasks on the GLM-5.2 base; the flagship still takes text input.
Original release ↗ 2026-08-26 GLM-5.3-Flash A separate new base brings native vision to coding, browser and document work, with API and open-weight routes.
