GLM-4.7

Z.ai's open MoE update of the GLM-4 line

Z.ai (Zhipu) GLM-4.7 — open-weights successor to GLM-4.5 with reasoning post-training. 357B total / 32B active per token MoE, 200K context, MIT licensed. Costs $0.60 input / $2.20 output on Z.ai's API; you can also self-host the weights from Hugging Face.

How are Intelligence, Speed & Cost bucketed?
Intelligence and Speed buckets are percentile ranks on Artificial Analysis. Cost buckets are fixed dollar thresholds keyed off output-token price ($/M out).

Why it matters

Tightens the open-weights frontier against closed competitors. GLM-4.7 → 4.6 → 4.5 cadence matches DeepSeek's V3 line, suggesting Z.ai is committed to fast iteration in the open tier.

What it feels like

  • Reasoning-style step-by-step traces in the DeepSeek V3 / GLM-4.5 lineage
  • Frontier-tier on knowledge benchmarks (GPQA 85.9%, MMLU-Pro), gap to GPT-5 / Opus 4.7 still meaningful

Best use cases

  • Self-host scenarios where you want Chinese-strong reasoning without API dependency
  • Price-sensitive serving at $0.60/$2.20 — competitive with DeepSeek V3.2
  • Long documents — 200K context

Tools to try

Not ideal for

  • Multimodal / vision tasks — text-only release
  • Latency-sensitive UX — reasoning traces add output time
