Analysis Summary

Z.ai GLM 4.6V is a multimodal model from Z.ai supporting text, image, and video input, with tool use and function calling. Its intelligence index of 11 places it in the lower tier of benchmarked models, and coding scores are absent from the data. Agentic performance is modest at 16.9, and long-context reasoning is limited. The 131K context window is adequate but not exceptional.

For businesses, the video input capability is a differentiator for media-processing workflows, and the tool use support makes it usable for simple agentic pipelines. However, reasoning depth is insufficient for complex analysis, and the lack of a coding index means software engineering tasks are not a reliable fit.

A -4 point regional accessibility adjustment applies given the provider. At $0.30 input and $0.90 output per million tokens, pricing is reasonable for the capability level. Teams with specific video-processing needs may find it worth evaluating, but should compare against better-benchmarked alternatives for general business use.

Editorial notes

Z.ai GLM 4.6V supports vision and video input with tool use and function calling, but its intelligence index of 11 limits it to lighter reasoning tasks; pricing is competitive for its capability tier.

Rankings consider pricing, capabilities, benchmarks, and real-world applicability and are refreshed as new models launch. Feedback?
