glm-5.1

zai/glm-5.1 id

GLM-5.1 delivers a major leap in coding capability, with particularly significant gains in handling long-horizon tasks. Unlike previous models built around minute-level interactions, GLM-5.1 can work independently and continuously on a single task for more than 8 hours—autonomously planning, executing, and improving itself throughout the process—ultimately delivering complete, engineering-grade results.
