- GLM-4.6 is the latest version of the flagship model, offering key improvements over GLM-4.5.
- Evaluated across eight benchmarks, GLM-4.6 shows gains in agents, reasoning, and coding, competing with models like DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp and Claude Sonnet 4 but lagging in coding ability compared to Claude Sonnet 4.5.
- Real-world testing via CC-Bench shows GLM-4.6 nearly matches Claude Sonnet 4 (48.6% win rate) and outperforms other open-source models, with 15% fewer tokens used than GLM-4.5.
- GLM-4.6 is available via the Z.ai API platform and OpenRouter, with comprehensive documentation provided.
- Coding agents like Claude Code, Kilo Code, and others now support GLM-4.6.
- GLM Coding Plan subscribers are automatically upgraded to GLM-4.6; new users get Claude-level performance at 1/7th the cost with 3x the quota.
- Model weights for GLM-4.6 will soon be on HuggingFace and ModelScope, supporting vLLM and SGLang for local deployment.
