Z.ai: GLM Flash Latest
Z.ai: GLM Flash Latest is a model from vendor ~z-ai that accepts text, image, and video inputs. It offers a context window of 1,048,576 tokens and allows up to 943,718 completion tokens, so a single request can carry very large documents or long multimodal sessions. It supports tool calling and reasoning. The listing does not specify whether it supports structured output or whether its weights are open. At $0.048 per million input tokens and $0.20 per million output tokens, GLM Flash Latest belongs on the shortlist for high-volume or long-context workloads where per-token cost drives the decision, especially those that mix text with images or video and need tool use. Its quality is unproven, however; it has no independent benchmark coverage yet. Teams should run it against their own tasks and weigh it against benchmarked alternatives before committing production traffic.
