Compared with GLM-4.5, GLM-4.6 brings several key improvements:
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.
Both GLM-4.5 and GLM-4.6 use the same inference method.
you can check our github for more detail.
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:
