SINGAPORE – \n LLM Performance Evaluation: Agentic, Reasoning and Coding<\/i>\n <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Built for this new phase, GLM-5 ranks among the strongest open-source models for coding and autonomous task execution. In practical programming settings, its performance approaches that of Claude Opus 4.5, particularly in complex system design and long-horizon tasks requiring sustained planning and execution.\n<\/p>\n The model rests on a new architecture aimed at scaling both capability and efficiency. Its parameter count has expanded from 355bn to 744bn, with active parameters rising from 32bn to 40bn, while pre-training data has grown to 28.5trn tokens. These increases are paired with advances in training methods. A framework called Slime enables asynchronous reinforcement learning at a larger scale, allowing the model to learn continuously from extended interactions and improve post-training efficiency. GLM-5 also introduces DeepSeek Sparse Attention, which maintains long-context performance while cutting deployment costs and improving token efficiency.\n<\/p>\n Benchmarks suggest strong gains. On SWE-bench-Verified and Terminal Bench 2.0, GLM-5 scores 77.8 and 56.2, respectively, the highest reported results for open-source models, surpassing Gemini 3 Pro in several software-engineering tasks. On Vending Bench 2, which simulates running a vending-machine business over a year, it finishes with a balance of $4,432, leading other open-source models in operational and economic management.\n<\/p>\n These results highlight the qualities required for agentic engineering: maintaining goals across long horizons, managing resources, and coordinating multi-step processes. As models increasingly assume these capabilities, the frontier of AI appears to be shifting from writing code to delivering functioning systems.\n<\/p>\n Chat & Official API Access <\/b>\n<\/p>\n Z.ai Chat: <\/b>https:\/\/chat.z.ai<\/a> <\/a>https:\/\/z.ai\/subscribe?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=press&utm_campaign=launch<\/a>\n<\/p>\n Open-Source Repositories<\/b>\n<\/p>\n GitHub: <\/b>https:\/\/github.com\/zai-org\/GLM-5 Blog<\/b> Hashtag: <\/b>#ZAI<\/p>\n
\nMedia OutReach Newswire<\/a> – 19 February 2026 – GLM-5, newly released as open source, signals a broader shift in artificial intelligence. Large language models are moving beyond generating code snippets or interface prototypes toward building complete systems and carrying out complex, end-to-end tasks. The change marks a transition from so-called “vibe coding” to what researchers increasingly describe as agentic engineering.<\/p>\n![\"LLM](\"https:\/\/images.media-outreach.com\/733839\/GLM-1.png\")
