Specialties of GLM-4.6

Hybrid Reasoning & Thinking Mode

GLM-4.6 offers a “thinking mode” for complex reasoning and tool use as well as a fast mode for simple tasks. Switching is done via the thinking.type parameter.

Agentic Intelligence & Tool Usage

Optimized for agents, coding agents, tool use and web browsing. Native function calling and high success rate for tool integration.

Deep architecture & MoE efficiency

GLM-4.6 relies on many layers and a high attention head count for better reasoning capabilities with high efficiency through MoE.

Reinforcement Learning & Curriculum

Multi-level RL training with specialized curricula for reasoning, coding and agentic tasks.
