Chinese AI company Zhipu AI has launched its new flagship model, GLM-5, highlighting a significant leap in coding capabilities and a shift toward "agentic engineering." The announcement caused the company's Hong Kong shares to surge by 28.7 percent.
The company claims the model achieves leading scores for open models in coding and agentic performance, even surpassing Google's Gemini 3 Pro in internal tests, though it still lags behind Anthropic's Claude on coding benchmarks.
Technically, GLM-5 is much larger than its predecessor, with 744 billion parameters and trained on 28.5 trillion tokens, utilizing a new efficient architecture called DeepSeek Sparse Attention.
