+## Introduction
+We are launching GLM-5, targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks. Scaling is still one of the most important ways to improve the intelligence efficiency of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Compared to GLM-4.5, GLM-5 scales from 355B parameters (32B active) to 744B parameters (40B active), and increases pre-training data from 23T to 28.5T tokens. GLM-5 also integrates DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), largely reducing deployment cost while preserving long-context capacity.
+Reinforcement learning aims to bridge the gap between competence and excellence in pre-trained models. However, deploying it at scale for LLMs is a challenge due to the RL training inefficiency. To this end, we developed [slime](https://github.com/THUDM/slime), a novel **asynchronous RL infrastructure** that substantially improves training throughput and efficiency, enabling more fine-grained post-training iterations. With advances in both pre-training and post-training, GLM-5 delivers significant improvement compared to GLM-4.7 across a wide range of academic benchmarks and achieves best-in-class performance among all open-source models in the world on reasoning, coding, and agentic tasks,  closing the gap with frontier models.

+GLM-5 is purpose-built for complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks. On our internal evaluation suite CC-Bench-V2, GLM-5 significantly outperforms GLM-4.7 across frontend, backend, and long-horizon tasks, narrowing the gap to Claude Opus 4.5.

+On [Vending Bench 2](https://andonlabs.com/evals/vending-bench-2), a benchmark that measures long-term operational capability, GLM-5 ranks \#1 among open-source models. Vending Bench 2 requires the model to run a simulated vending machine business over a one-year horizon; GLM-5 finishes with a final account balance of $4,432, approaching Claude Opus 4.5 and demonstrating strong long-term planning and resource management.

+### Footnote
+* **Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE) & other reasoning tasks**: We evaluate with a maximum generation length of 131,072 tokens (`temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, max_new_tokens=131072`). By default, we report the text-only subset; results marked with * are from the full set. We use GPT-5.2 (medium) as the judge model. For HLE-with-tools, we use a maximum context length of 202,752 tokens.
+* **SWE-bench & SWE-bench Multilingual**: We run the SWE-bench suite with OpenHands using a tailored instruction prompt. Settings: `temperature=0.7, top_p=0.95, max_new_tokens=16384`, with a 200K context window.
+* **BrowserComp**: Without context management, we retain details from the most recent 5 turns. With context management, we use the same discard-all strategy as DeepSeek-v3.2 and Kimi K2.5.
+* **Terminal-Bench 2.0 (Terminus 2)**: We evaluate with the Terminus framework using `timeout=2h, temperature=0.7, top_p=1.0, max_new_tokens=8192`, with a 128K context window. Resource limits are capped at 16 CPUs and 32 GB RAM.
+* **Terminal-Bench 2.0 (Claude Code)**: We evaluate in Claude Code 2.1.14 (think mode, default effort) with `temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, max_new_tokens=65536`. We remove wall-clock time limits due to generation speed, while preserving per-task CPU and memory constraints. Scores are averaged over 5 runs. We fix environment issues introduced by Claude Code and also report results on a verified Terminal-Bench 2.0 dataset that resolves ambiguous instructions (see: [https://huggingface.co/datasets/zai-org/terminal-bench-2-verified](https://huggingface.co/datasets/zai-org/terminal-bench-2-verified)).
+* **CyberGym**: We evaluate in Claude Code 2.1.18 (think mode, no web tools) with (`temperature=1.0, top_p=1.0, max_new_tokens=32000`) and a 250-minute timeout per task. Results are single-run Pass@1 over 1,507 tasks.
+* **MCP-Atlas**: All models are evaluated in think mode on the 500-task public subset with a 10-minute timeout per task. We use Gemini 3 Pro as the judge model.
+* **τ²-bench**: We add a small prompt adjustment in Retail and Telecom to avoid failures caused by premature user termination. For Airline, we apply the domain fixes proposed in the Claude Opus 4.5 system card.
+* **Vending Bench 2**: Runs are conducted independently by [Andon Labs](https://andonlabs.com/evals/vending-bench-2).
