GLM-5.1: Towards Long-Horizon Tasks

GLM-5.1 sustains optimization over hundreds of rounds and thousands of tool calls by revisiting reasoning and revising strategy through repeated iteration.

  • The model temporarily breaks the Recall constraint during exploration before adjusting to restore it after major structural transitions.
  • Off-peak usage for GLM-5.1 is billed at 1× as a limited-time promotion through the end of April.

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.

Widely served (15 API providers); 33 quantized builds for local use.

Will it fit?

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

Needs an 8×80 GB node even at INT4

About 452 GB at INT4, 905 GB at FP8, 1.81 TB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache. Every expert must be resident, so total parameters count.

The story so far

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.

Coverage peaked at launch and is still arriving

Teal is the weights (2026-04-03), amber triangles are 9 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.

What people built on it

45 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.

45 derivatives on the Hub, most of them quantized

From the Hugging Face model tree; quantized builds in teal, fine-tunes, merges and adapters in greys.

What it is good at 5 use cases

Labels are evidence, not verdicts: measured a third-party leaderboard row for this model; author-reported a number the model author published in the card or eval files; structural a deterministic signal from the name, config or chat template, or a decision-model estimate. Each chip links to its source. All use cases.

GLM-5.1 sustains optimization over hundreds of rounds and thousands of tool calls by revisiting reasoning and revising strategy through repeated iteration. Unlike previous models that plateau early, it achieves structural transitions like IVF cluster probing and two-stage pipelines to shift performance frontiers. The model reaches 21.5k QPS after 600+ iterations and 6,000+ tool calls on vector database optimization tasks.written, reviewed, cited
  • The model temporarily breaks the Recall constraint during exploration before adjusting to restore it after major structural transitions.
  • Off-peak usage for GLM-5.1 is billed at 1× as a limited-time promotion through the end of April.

The GLM Coding Plan now supports the latest GLM-5.1 model for all users (Max, Pro, and Lite), and you can switch between models within your preferred Coding Agent. Users edit ~/.claude/settings.json or ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json to add the model, setting the Context Window Size to 200000. This currently only works with coding agents that support custom model configuration.written, reviewed, cited
  • Users must uncheck the Support Images option when configuring the custom GLM-5.1 model.
  • Engineers using OpenClaw must manually update the configuration after completing the provider setup.
  • Agents lacking custom model settings require waiting for official support in a future release.

Z.ai released GLM-5.1, a 754B parameter 1.51TB MIT-licensed model available via OpenRouter. The model autonomously generates complex HTML+SVG outputs with CSS animations for long-horizon tasks. It demonstrates reasoning capabilities by identifying and fixing positioning conflicts between CSS transforms and SVG attributes.written, reviewed, cited
