Z.ai releases GLM-5, a 744B-parameter open model for agentic engineering
AIZ.ai launches GLM-5, scaling from 355B to 744B total parameters with 40B active and pre-training data from 23T to 28.5T tokens. The model integrates DeepSeek Sparse Attention to reduce deployment cost and reports strong results on reasoning, coding, and agentic benchmarks against GLM-4.7, DeepSeek-V3.2, Kimi K2.5, and several frontier models.
Why it matters: The source gives concrete scale, data, and benchmark comparisons against named frontier models, showing where GLM-5 sits among open-source and proprietary systems.
