Z.ai: GLM 4.6V
Analysis Summary
Z.ai GLM 4.6V is a multimodal model supporting text, image, and video input with tool use and function calling. Its intelligence index sits at 23.4, which is below the strong tier, but the breadth of modality support and a 131K context window give it practical versatility for mixed-media workflows.
Coding and agentic scores are limited, so it is not suited for software engineering or autonomous agent tasks. It performs better as a content analysis or document-processing tool where vision and long context matter more than raw reasoning depth. Instruction following (ifbench 0.30) is below average, which is a concern for precise client-facing output.
Priced at $0.30 input and $0.90 output per 1M tokens, it is cost-accessible. A regional accessibility penalty applies, reflecting limited enterprise adoption outside its home market. Best suited for teams that specifically need video and image understanding at a low price point.
