About GLM-4

GLM-4, developed by Zhipu AI, is a proprietary language model with a 128K token context window powering ChatGLM, one of China's most widely used AI assistants. Founded by researchers from Tsinghua University, Zhipu AI built GLM-4 with strong Chinese and English bilingual capabilities for conversational AI, content generation, and enterprise applications. The model supports multimodal inputs, tool use, and long-context document processing. GLM-4 is particularly strong at understanding Chinese cultural context, idiomatic expressions, and domain-specific terminology common in Chinese enterprise workflows. It competes in the domestic Chinese AI market alongside Qwen, Ernie, and Baichuan. Zhipu AI has positioned GLM-4 as the AI backbone for Chinese enterprises, with integrations across customer service, knowledge management, and content production platforms.
