GLM-4.6V

Z.ai officially introduces the GLM-4.6V series, which integrates native Function Calling capabilities for the first time.

  • GLM-4.6V accepts images and documents directly as tool parameters without converting them to text first.
  • The model processes approximately 150 pages of complex documents or a one-hour-long video in a single inference pass.

Will it fit?

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method

Fits two 80 GB GPUs at INT4; too big for one

About 65 GB at INT4, 129 GB at FP8, 259 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache. Every expert must be resident, so total parameters count.

Z.ai officially introduces the GLM-4.6V series, which integrates native Function Calling capabilities for the first time. The release includes GLM-4.6V (106B) for cloud scenarios and GLM-4.6V-Flash (9B) for local deployment, both scaling context to 128k tokens. The model achieves SOTA performance on benchmarks including MMBench, MathVista, and OCRBench among open-source models of comparable scale.written, reviewed, cited
  • GLM-4.6V accepts images and documents directly as tool parameters without converting them to text first.
  • The model processes approximately 150 pages of complex documents or a one-hour-long video in a single inference pass.
  • The team extends the Model Context Protocol to use URLs for identifying multimodal content passed to and from tools.
