Z.ai GLM 4.5
About this model
GLM-4.5 is our latest flagship foundation model, purpose-built for agent-based applications. It leverages a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture and supports a context length of up to 128k tokens. GLM-4.5 delivers significantly enhanced capabilities in reasoning, code generation, and agent alignment. It supports a hybrid inference mode with two options, a "thinking mode" designed for complex reasoning and tool use, and a "non-thinking mode" optimized for instant responses. Users can control the reasoning behaviour with the `reasoning` `enabled` boolean. [Learn more in our docs](https://openrouter.ai/docs/use-cases/reasoning-tokens#enable-reasoning-with-default-config)
