Z.ai: GLM 4.5V
Analysis Summary
Z.ai's GLM 4.5V, released in August 2025, is a multimodal model supporting text and image input with tool use and function calling. Its intelligence index of 15.1 and coding index of 10.9 place it in the lower-mid tier, though its math index of 73.0 and AIME score of 0.730 are strong for the class. LiveCodeBench at 0.604 confirms meaningful coding capability. The 65K context window is a notable limitation compared to competitors at similar price points.
For businesses, GLM 4.5V suits structured extraction, vision-enabled workflows, and math-heavy tasks where the context window constraint is not binding. Tool use and function calling enable basic agentic integration. However, the combination of a 65K context limit and $0.60 input / $1.80 output pricing makes it hard to justify against alternatives with larger windows and stronger reasoning at lower cost.
The -4 point regional penalty applies for provider accessibility. Teams with specific requirements for this model's capabilities may find use cases, but most business workflows will be better served by alternatives with more competitive pricing and larger context windows.
