Z.ai: GLM 5V Turbo
GLM 5V Turbo is a multimodal model from Z.ai that accepts text, image, and video input and returns text. It offers a context window of 202,752 tokens and can generate up to 131,072 tokens in a single completion, which suits long documents, extended transcripts, or lengthy multi-step outputs. It supports tool calling and a reasoning mode. The listing does not state whether it supports structured output or whether its weights are open. At $1.20 per million input tokens and $4.00 per million output tokens, it is a paid model priced well below many premium tiers. Teams that need video and image understanding alongside long context and tool use should consider shortlisting it. It has no independent benchmark coverage yet, so its quality relative to alternatives is unproven. Run your own evaluations on representative tasks before committing production workloads to it.
