Not independent measurement

Structured rows reported in this exact model repository at the pinned revision below. They are the publisher talking about itself: never measured evidence, never a score input on their own. They remain quarantined until dataset revision, harness, configuration and identity pass ModelCap’s independent admission review.

These adoption and deployment observations remain context only. They do not change this model's ModelCap Index score or rank.

BES evidence selected · measured input only

The bounded 0–100 capability score blends each source’s competitive placement with its published achievement, then combines capability families. Evidence breadth adds a modest uncertainty adjustment; price and popularity are not part of benchmark-led rank.

GLM 5: common questions

How does GLM 5 rank among AI models?

GLM 5 is a superseded version and is not on the current board as of 6 November 2026. Its archive position, where one exists, is shown on the page; the newer version carries the current rank.

How much does GLM 5 cost per 1M tokens?

GLM 5 is listed at $1.00 per 1M input tokens and $3.20 per 1M output tokens as of 6 November 2026; the lowest output price among 8 providers is $1.92 on StreamLake. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $3.60 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.

What is the context window of GLM 5?

GLM 5 has a published context window of 205K tokens (204,800). The snapshot lists a 131,072 token catalogue-declared route output cap. OpenRouter catalogue or provider-endpoint declaration. Limits can vary by provider and prompt length; a model-wide maximum has not been independently verified. The providers table lists each endpoint's context limit.

Is GLM 5 open-weight?

Open weights (mit). Downloadable weights are published under an OSI or free-culture license in the current repository metadata. This describes weight availability, not whether the full training stack qualifies as Open Source AI. The repository is zai-org/GLM-5 on Hugging Face.

Which API providers serve GLM 5?

8 providers serve GLM 5 through OpenRouter as of 6 November 2026: StreamLake, GMICloud, Baidu, SiliconFlow, Amazon Bedrock and Venice and 2 more. Each provider's price, context limit, quantization and measured uptime are in the providers table above.

Which benchmarks has GLM 5 been evaluated on?

GLM 5 has published results on 5 public boards tracked by ModelCap as of 6 November 2026: Arena text 1457 (#66 of 419), Arena coding 1498 (#85 of 414), ARC-AGI-2 4.9% (#186 of 280), SWE-bench 72.8% (#7 of 47) and WildClawBench OpenClaw 42.6 (#22 of 34). Each board page ranks every tracked model on that benchmark. The ModelCap Index scores the results its methodology admits, with published uncertainty, and shows reference boards without scoring them.

When was GLM 5 released?

GLM 5 first appeared in the catalogue on 11 Feb 2026. It has since been superseded by GLM 5.3. Rank and price movements since then are recorded on the site's changes feed.
