Chinese AI company Zhipu AI unveiled its latest flagship model 'GLM-5' ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, amid fierce competition among domestic tech companies. The coding ability of this model has been significantly enhanced.
The company, known globally as Z.ai, said that GLM-5 marks a shift in AI development from 'vibe coding' to large-scale AI automated coding, 'agentic engineering', thanks to its improved performance.
According to internal test results, GLM-5 achieved industry-leading scores in key areas such as coding and agent performance, even surpassing Google DeepMind's most powerful model, Gemini 3 Pro.
However, based on the company's own announced scores, this model still falls short of Anthropic's private model Claude, which is currently considered the world's top coding model across all coding benchmarks.
The new model is available on the official website and has been open-sourced on GitHub and Hugging Face.
