What is GLM-4.6?
GLM-4.6 is the new flagship model from Z.ai, with a 200K context window and major upgrades to its coding, reasoning, and agentic skills. It achieves near-parity with Claude Sonnet 4 in real-world tests and is available now via API and in popular coding agents.
Problem
Users require advanced AI models for coding and reasoning tasks but face limitations with older models like Claude Sonnet 3, which offer smaller context windows (e.g., 100K) and weaker agentic or coding capabilities.
Solution
A large language model (GLM-4.6) accessible via API or coding agents, enabling users to leverage 200K context windows and enhanced coding, reasoning, and agentic skills for complex tasks like code generation or data analysis.
Customers
Developers, data scientists, and AI engineers building applications requiring high-context, code-heavy, or reasoning-driven AI solutions.
Unique Features
200K context window (2x larger than Claude Sonnet 3), near-parity performance with top proprietary models (e.g., Claude Sonnet 4), and API availability for seamless integration.
