Zhipu AI Releases Third Generation Foundation Model ChatGLM3 with Code Interaction Capability


The domestic large model sector saw a breakthrough during the 2026 Spring Festival. Zhipu AI released its new large model GLM-5, triggering a strong reaction in the capital market, with a stock price surge of 200% and a market value reaching 150 billion HKD. Previously, the model was anonymously introduced as "Pony Alpha", showing outstanding coding capabilities.
Two weeks after the release of Zhipu AI's open-source model GLM-4.7-Flash, its download count on Hugging Face exceeded 1 million. This 30B-A3B hybrid thinking model delivers strong performance, outperforming gpt-oss-20b and Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking-2507 in tests such as SWE-bench Verified and τ²-Bench, leading among models of the same size.
Zhipu AI, due to a surge in users after the release of GLM-4.7, has announced limited sales of the GLM Coding Plan to ensure the experience of existing users. Peak time concurrency limiting is displayed, showing the strong demand for domestic large models.
Zhipu AI officially open-sources its latest general vision model, GLM-4.1V-Thinking, based on the GLM-4V architecture, which introduces a chain-of-thought reasoning mechanism, significantly enhancing its capabilities for complex cognitive tasks. The model supports multimodal inputs such as images, videos, and documents, and excels in diverse scenarios including long video understanding, image question answering, subject problem-solving, text recognition, document interpretation, grounding, GUI Agent, and code generation, covering a wide range of industry application needs.

Zhipu AI today launched its latest Agent product, AutoGLM-Thinking, at the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum. This is the industry's first Agent product to integrate deep research capabilities with operational capabilities, its key feature being the ability to think and act concurrently. AutoGLM-Thinking breaks the limitations of traditional AI models, capable of simultaneously performing complex reasoning and executing actions. It can, like a human, open and browse web pages, completing entire tasks from data retrieval and analysis to report generation, achieving a tight integration of thought and action. Zhipu AI stated...
