glm-z1-air
API Overview
GLM-Z1 is a fully self-developed deep reasoning model series launched by Zhipu AI, positioned as a domestically produced large-model foundation that “matches the performance of DeepSeek-R1 while achieving extreme optimization in speed and cost.” It aims to provide users with a reasoning experience endowed with “deep thinking” capabilities through reinforcement learning technology.
- Outstanding Reasoning and Mathematical Abilities: Adopting cold-start and extended reinforcement learning (RL) strategies, GLM-Z1 has been deeply optimized for mathematical proofs, logical reasoning, and code generation, delivering performance that rivals OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek-R1.
- Extreme Inference Speed: The GLM-Z1-AirX version boasts an inference speed of up to 200 tokens per second, representing an approximately 8-fold improvement over similar inference models and effectively addressing the bottleneck of slow response times in deep reasoning models.
- Cost-Effectiveness and Open-Source Ecosystem: Through technological optimizations, Zhipu has significantly reduced inference costs, pricing its models at just one-thirtieth of those offered by competing products. This model series—including versions such as 32B and 9B—has been officially open-sourced and is accessible via the global domain Z.ai.
- Support for Long Chain of Thought (Long CoT): Equipped with a built-in “rumination” mechanism, GLM-Z1 supports context windows of up to 128K tokens. Before providing answers, the model conducts self-reflection, error correction, and multi-path verification, ensuring the rigor of outputs for complex tasks.
- Comprehensive Model Matrix for All Scenarios: The series includes multiple versions such as GLM-Z1-Air (cost-effective inference), GLM-Z1-AirX (ultra-fast acceleration), and GLM-Z1-Flash (permanently free), catering to diverse needs—from scientific research to large-scale commercial applications.

Core Capabilities
🧠 Deep Thinking and Self-Correction: Mimicking the human thought process when tackling challenging problems, GLM-Z1 can break down complex logical issues into step-by-step components and dynamically correct potential logical errors during reasoning.
🔍 Autonomous Research (Deep Research): Combined with GLM-Z1’s rumination capability, it supports real-time online searches, dynamic tool calls, and self-verification, enabling it to autonomously complete the entire workflow from information gathering to generating in-depth reports.
🧮 Advanced Mathematical and Logical Reasoning: Excelling at symbolic computation, mathematical proofs, physical modeling, and programming tasks involving complex boundary conditions, GLM-Z1 serves as a powerful assistant for researchers and programmers alike.
🤖 Agent Execution (Operator): As the core engine of AutoGLM Rumination Edition, GLM-Z1 features robust GUI reading and environmental awareness capabilities, allowing it to operate web pages, apps, and computer desktops like a human would, executing long-term tasks.
📂 Large-Scale Data Insights: When handling long documents, financial report analysis, or job-person matching scenarios, GLM-Z1 demonstrates exceptional abilities in information extraction, causal relationship analysis, and structured summarization.
