Abstract

Today, we are releasing the latest version of our flagship model: GLM-4.6. Compared with GLM-4.5, this generation brings several key improvements: Longer context window: The context window has been expanded from 128K to 200K tokens, enabling the model to handle more complex agentic tasks. Superior coding performance: The model achieves higher scores on code benchmarks and demonstrates better real-world performance in applications such as Claude Code、Cline、Roo Code and Kilo Code, including improvements in generating visually polished front-end pages. Advanced reasoning: GLM-4.6 shows a clear improvement in reasoning performance and supports tool use during inference, leading to stronger overall capability. More capable agents: GLM-4.6 exhibits stronger performance in tool using and search-based agents, and integrates more effectively within agent frameworks. Refined writing: Better aligns with human preferences in style and readability, and performs more naturally in role-playing scenarios. We evaluated GLM-4.6 across eight public benchmarks covering agents, reasoning, and coding. Results show clear gains over GLM-4.5, with GLM-4.6 also holding competitive advantages over leading domestic and international models such as DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp and Claude Sonnet 4, but still lags behind Claude Sonnet 4.5 in coding ability.
