What is GLM-4.5V
GLM-4.5V is the latest generation visual reasoning model released by Zhipu. The model is built on a 106B parameter scale and has 12B activation capability, making it a currently leading vision-language model (VLM). The model is upgraded fromGLM-4.1V-Thinkingand inherits its excellent architecture, combining it with the new-generation text foundation modelGLM-4.5-Airfor training. The model performs exceptionally well in visual understanding and reasoning capabilities, and is suitable for scenarios such as web front-end replication, grounding, geo-guessing games, and video understanding, and is expected to promote the further development of multimodal applications. To help developers intuitively experience the powerful capabilities of GLM-4.5V and build exclusive multimodal applications, the team has open-sourced a desktop assistant application that can capture screenshots and record screens in real time, and with the help of the GLM-4.5V model handles various visual tasks such as code assistance, video analysis, game solving, and document interpretation.
