What is GLM-4-long
GLM-4-long is a 2-million-character long-text model launched by Zhipu AI, and is now available on Zhipu AI Open Platform BigModel with API access. It supports ultra-long input and is specially designed for processing ultra-long text and memory-type tasks. Its context length is up to 1M, about 1.5-2 million characters, equivalent to 2 copies of Dream of the Red Chamber or 125 papers.
Main features of GLM-4-long
- Ultra-long text processing capability: GLM-4-long supports a context length of up to 1M (about 1.5-2 million characters), equivalent to the capacity of about two copies of "Dream of the Red Chamber" or 125 papers, and can process very long text data.
- Reasoning capability: GLM-4-long can perform complex reasoning tasks, for example, inserting some language fragments scattered in long text and making reasoning and decisions based on these fragments.
- Key technical points: The development team of GLM-4-long adopted some key technologies, such as gradually extending the model's context length from 4096 to 1M, and using the batch sort method and instruction synthetic data to improve training efficiency.
- Performance metrics: When the input is 500,000 characters, the first response time is about 50 seconds; when the input is 1 million characters, the first response time is about 140 seconds; when the input is 1.5 million characters, the first response time is about 280 seconds.
How to use GLM-4-long

- Obtain an API key: Before using the model, you need to obtain an API key on the Zhipu AI Open Platform to verify requests.
- Understand model parameters: Become familiar with the parameter settings of the GLM-4-long model, including the supported context length (1M) and maximum output length (4K).
- Write code: Write code to call the GLM-4-long model. You can use programming languages such as Python, together with the API key and the model's calling interface.
- Prepare input data: Prepare input data according to your needs. GLM-4-long can process ultra-long text, so long text content can be used as input.
- Call the model: Use the API interface to call the GLM-4-long model and send the input data to the model.
- Process the output: The model will return the processing results, and you need to write code to parse and process these output data.
Application scenarios of GLM-4-long
- Long-text analysis: GLM-4-long can process and analyze texts tens of thousands of characters long, and is suitable for scenarios that require deep understanding of large amounts of text data, such as the analysis and summarization of academic papers, legal documents, historical documents, etc.
- Document summary generation: For long articles or reports, GLM-4-long can generate concise summaries that contain key information.
- Information retrieval: In scenarios where specific information needs to be retrieved from a large number of documents, GLM-4-long can quickly locate and extract relevant information.
- Natural language reasoning: GLM-4-long can handle complex logical relationships and reasoning tasks, and is suitable for applications that require analysis and reasoning about arguments in text.
- Content creation assistance: When creating long articles, stories, or scripts, GLM-4-long can provide creative support and writing suggestions.
