glm-5
Z.AI/Open weights/2 providers
GLM-5 is an open-source foundation model engineered for complex system engineering and long-horizon Agent tasks, delivering reliable productivity for top-tier programmers. Transcending the boundary from "writing code" to "building systems," it moves beyond traditional snippet generation to offer senior-architect-level planning and execution capabilities. By rejecting the "frontend-heavy, logic-light" approach, GLM-5 demonstrates exceptional reasoning and self-healing abilities in backend refactoring, complex algorithm implementation, and deep debugging—autonomously analyzing logs and iteratively fixing persistent bugs until the system runs. As the first open-source model featuring Opus-class style and system engineering depth, GLM-5 provides extreme logic density alongside the freedom of local deployment and high cost-effectiveness, making it the ideal choice for large-scale backend development and automated Agent construction.MoreLess

glm-5 questions
Which providers serve glm-5?
glm-5 is available from 2 providers through Requesty: Novita AI, Z.ai. All endpoints share one OpenAI-compatible API and one key, and Requesty fails over between them automatically.
How much does glm-5 cost?
Pricing starts at $1.00 per million input tokens and $3.20 per million output tokens on Novita AI, the cheapest endpoint. Prices vary by provider and region; the table above shows every endpoint. Those are the upstream provider rates: pay as you go adds 5% on top, or 0% if you bring your own provider keys.
Is glm-5 open weights?
Yes. glm-5 is an open-weights model from Z.AI, which is why multiple inference providers can host it. Provider choice affects price, latency, and data-privacy terms, all compared above.
What is the context window of glm-5?
glm-5 supports up to 203K tokens of context, with up to 131K output tokens per response. Some providers expose a smaller window; check the per-endpoint context column above.
How do I use glm-5 with the OpenAI SDK?
Install the OpenAI SDK, set base_url to "https://router.requesty.ai/v1", set your API key to your Requesty key, and set the model to "novita/GLM-5" or any endpoint id from the table above. The quickstart section shows Python, JavaScript and cURL snippets.
