GLM-5.1 released, working independently for up to 8 hours in a single run
- Designed for long-horizon tasks, GLM-5.1 can work independently for up to 8 hours in a single run, enabling a full loop from planning and execution to iterative refinement and final delivery.
- It demonstrates stronger engineering intelligence across autonomous planning, sustained execution, bug fixing, and strategy iteration, while achieving comprehensive capability alignment with Claude Opus 4.6. Built with multi-turn SFT, RL, and a process-quality evaluation framework, GLM-5.1 further improves stability, consistency, and tool use over extended tasks. Learn more in our documentation.*
