Model Introduction

Compared with GLM-4.5, GLM-4.6 brings several key improvements:

  • Longer context window: The context window has been expanded from 128K to 200K tokens, enabling the model to handle more complex agentic tasks.
  • Superior coding performance: The model achieves higher scores on code benchmarks and demonstrates better real-world performance in applications such as Claude Code、Cline、Roo Code and Kilo Code, including improvements in generating visually polished front-end pages.
  • Advanced reasoning: GLM-4.6 shows a clear improvement in reasoning performance and supports tool use during inference, leading to stronger overall capability.
  • More capable agents: GLM-4.6 exhibits stronger performance in tool using and search-based agents, and integrates more effectively within agent frameworks.
  • Refined writing: Better aligns with human preferences in style and readability, and performs more naturally in role-playing scenarios.

We evaluated GLM-4.6 across eight public benchmarks covering agents, reasoning, and coding. Results show clear gains over GLM-4.5, with GLM-4.6 also holding competitive advantages over leading domestic and international models such as DeepSeek-V3.1-Terminus and Claude Sonnet 4.

Inference

Both GLM-4.5 and GLM-4.6 use the same inference method.

you can check our github for more detail.

Recommended Evaluation Parameters

For general evaluations, we recommend using a sampling temperature of 1.0.

For code-related evaluation tasks (such as LCB), it is further recommended to set:

  • top_p = 0.95
  • top_k = 40

Evaluation

  • For tool-integrated reasoning, please refer to this doc.
  • For search benchmark, we design a specific format for searching toolcall in thinking mode to support search agent, please refer to this. for the detailed template.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys glm-4-6 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (glm-4-6 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"glm-4-6","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
