GLM-4.5

by Z.ai

GLM-4.5 is Zhipu's agentic foundation model with 355 billion total parameters and 32 billion active through a Mixture-of-Experts architecture. Released July 2025, it unifies complex multi-step reasoning, professional code generation, and tool-driven agent workflows in a hybrid system that switches between a deep-thinking path and a fast-response path based on task complexity. The model's 128K context window and BF16 or FP8 format options support long-document processing and efficient deployment. Across 12 industry benchmarks GLM-4.5 scores 63.2, placing it third among evaluated open and proprietary models, with strong tool-calling results reported at a 90.6% success rate, ahead of Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Kimi K2. Released under an MIT license for commercial use, GLM-4.5 suits developers building agentic systems, code-intensive workflows, and multi-language applications where reasoning depth and tool integration matter most.

Get started

Call GLM-4.5 through the Opper gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly β€” Opper is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into your coding agent β€” Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and more β€” and it'll wire up Opper for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.OPPER_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.opper.click/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "novita/zai-org/glm-4.5",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
