GLM-5 reads and writes text, keeps about 200 pages in mind at once, and is the flagship of Z.ai's line, a model you can download and run yourself. It is made for building whole software systems, not single snippets: it plans the work, reasons about the back end, corrects its own mistakes and carries tasks through on its own. Z.ai says it rivals the best closed models on large programming jobs.
