GLM 5 Turbo

GLM-5 Turbo is built on the GLM-5 architecture with a 744 billion parameter foundation and 40 billion active parameters during inference, leveraging DeepSeek Sparse Attention to keep deployment costs manageable without sacrificing capability. The model targets agent-driven workflows and scenarios like OpenClaw, where sustained task execution and reliable tool use matter more than raw benchmark scores. Its design philosophy centers on handling long execution chains with stability, making it suited for applications that require persistent, multi-step reasoning rather than single-shot responses.

The model is deeply optimized for real-world agent scenarios, with improvements in complex instruction decomposition, scheduled and persistent execution, and overall stability across extended tasks. These optimizations aim to make long-chain task execution more practical at scale. GLM-5 Turbo positions itself as a foundation model for developers building autonomous agents, workflow automation, and systems that need to maintain context and reliability across prolonged interactions rather than just handling individual prompts effectively.

CoverageRelease Notes

The Opper AI release tracker explicitly lists GLM-5-Turbo among Z.ai's dated model releases, confirming its launch date as March 15, 2026. The entry shows a 203K context window and an intelligence index score of 27, corroborating the VentureBeat coverage of the model as a Turbo-branded variant within Z.ai's GLM family. The tracker entry lists pricing for GLM-5-Turbo at $1.20 per million input tokens and $4.00 per million output tokens — figures that diverge from VentureBeat's OpenRouter-cited $0.96/$3.20 pricing, a discrepancy likely reflecting different aggregator snapshots or routing markups. Despite the pricing difference, both so
