GLM-5
Novita AI/🇺🇸 US/chat
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

Provider rates
What GLM-5 costs
Provider prices per 1M tokens, updated October 3, 2026.moreless
These are the upstream provider rates. Pay as you go adds 5%, or 0% if you bring your own keys, and there is no per-request fee. Prompt caching and routing change what you pay against these rates, not the rates themselves.

GLM-5 questions
How much does GLM-5 cost?
GLM-5 is priced at $1.00 per million input tokens and $3.20 per million output tokens when accessed via Requesty. Prompt caching is supported, which can cut effective input cost by up to 90% on repeated context. Those are the upstream provider rates: pay as you go adds 5% on top, or 0% if you bring your own provider keys.
What is the context window of GLM-5?
GLM-5 has a context window of 203K tokens, with a maximum output of 131K tokens per response. That's roughly 270 words of input you can fit in a single prompt.
How does GLM-5 perform on benchmarks?
GLM-5 scores 98.2% on τ²-Bench, 82.0% on GPQA Diamond, 43.2% on Terminal-Bench Hard. See the full benchmark chart above for results across MMLU Pro, GPQA Diamond, SWE-Bench Verified, HumanEval, MATH, AIME, MMMU, and LiveBench.
What can GLM-5 do?
GLM-5 supports tool calling, extended reasoning, prompt caching. You can call it through any OpenAI-compatible client by pointing base_url to Requesty.
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". The Quickstart above shows Python, JavaScript and cURL snippets.
Can I run GLM-5 through Requesty?
Yes. GLM-5 runs through Requesty's OpenAI-compatible API, served from Novita AI. You do not host the model yourself: point base_url at Requesty, set the model to "novita/GLM-5", and requests are routed to the upstream provider with automatic failover. The same key gives you 600+ other models too.
Call GLM-5 through one endpoint
One key for this endpoint and 600+ other models. No markup on provider prices, automatic failover, caching built in.
