About glm-5

GLM-5 is Z.ai’s text generation model, with its model card emphasizing complex systems engineering and long agent tasks. Existing repositories and executable acceptance cases can evaluate planning, edits and diagnosis.

Applications must execute tool actions and return results. Check the route’s thinking, tool and context parameters; model-card benchmarks do not guarantee project outcomes. Official reference, checked 2026-10-14.

Use cases and prompting

  1. Provide requirements, relevant source and constraints; request a scoped change and acceptance checklist.
  2. Keep terminal errors and environment versions; distinguish verified facts from commands still to run.
  3. Run existing checks at each stage and return actual results before advancing.
  4. Compare identical cases with glm-5.3; record complete outputs, failures and actual usage. See the API documentation for integration.

How to call glm-5

glm-5 is served through tbuy's unified gateway. Existing OpenAI or Anthropic SDK code keeps working: point base_url at https://modelsok.com and use your tbuy API key.

curl (OpenAI-compatible)

curl https://modelsok.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "glm-5", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'

Python (openai SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://modelsok.com/v1", api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="glm-5",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Python (anthropic SDK)

from anthropic import Anthropic

client = Anthropic(base_url="https://modelsok.com", api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
message = client.messages.create(
    model="glm-5",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
