What is GLM-4.1V-Thinking?
GLM-4.1V-Thinking by Zhipu AI is a new open-source VLM that excels at complex reasoning. The 9B model matches or beats the 72B Qwen-2.5-VL on many benchmarks. Supports images, video, and a 64k context. Demo and API available.
Problem
Users face limitations with traditional Vision-Language Models (VLMs) that lack advanced reasoning capabilities, struggling to perform complex reasoning tasks involving images, videos, and long-context data, leading to reduced accuracy and application potential in AI-driven solutions.
Solution
An open-source VLM tool (GLM-4.1V-Thinking) enabling complex reasoning across images, videos, and 64k context windows. Users can deploy the 9B model via API or demo to enhance AI applications requiring multimodal analysis and decision-making, e.g., video understanding or contextual image interpretation.
Customers
