GLM 4.6

GLM 4.6 refines the GLM series around reliability and integration. It follows instructions more faithfully, sustains multi-step analysis over longer prompts, and handles practical software work—from generation to debugging and refactoring—with clearer explanations and fewer format slips. The model is comfortable switching between Chinese and English in the same session, keeps multi-document threads coherent, and returns schema-true JSON so downstream systems can act on its answers without brittle parsing. Tool and function calling let it search, run code, or query services mid-reasoning, while streaming maintains a responsive feel for interactive apps. For teams that need visual understanding, the VL sibling reads documents, charts, screenshots, and photos and grounds responses in what it “sees.” In production it slots neatly into retrieval-augmented workflows and agent frameworks, offering the balance of accuracy, speed, and predictability enterprises expect—an incremental but meaningful step up from 4.5.
