GLM-4.5V

GLM-4.5V is a chat model released by Z AI (the team behind the GLM series, also known as Zhipu AI). The "V" designation marks it as the vision-oriented member of the GLM-4.5 generation, positioned alongside the text-focused GLM-4.5 models rather than replacing them. It is served through chat-completions style APIs, so it slots into the same application code as other GLM chat endpoints. As a multimodal assistant, GLM-4.5V is aimed at prompts that mix natural language instructions with visual material — screenshots, documents, charts, photographs, and UI captures — and return text responses. Our catalog does not currently track a confirmed context window, parameter count, or verified throughput and latency figures for this model; the benchmark record we hold from Artificial Analysis has no measured tokens-per-second or time-to-first-token values. Readers who need exact context limits, supported image formats, or per-request size caps should confirm against the documentation of whichever provider they route through, since hosted deployments of the same model often differ in these details. In practice, GLM-4.5V is used where a team wants image understanding and text generation from one endpoint without maintaining a separate vision pipeline. It competes with other multimodal assistants in the open-weight-adjacent Chinese model ecosystem, and like other GLM releases it is frequently offered by multiple inference providers at once, which gives buyers a choice of host rather than a single vendor relationship.
