Pros & cons

Overview

GLM is a series of open-source Mixture of Experts (MoE) language models designed for agentic tasks, such as autonomous decision-making and task execution. Developed by Z.ai, it focuses on efficient scaling and specialized model routing for complex AI workflows.

Problem it solves

It enables efficient deployment of large language models by dynamically activating only relevant model components (experts), reducing computational costs while maintaining performance.

Target audience: Developers and teams working with models automation.

Example workflow

1. 1 User configures the agent with required parameters
2. 2 Agent receives input data or trigger
3. 3 Agent processes the request using its core logic
4. 4 Agent interacts with external services if needed
5. 5 Results are returned to the user

Sample system prompt

              You are GLM, an AI assistant. Help the user accomplish their task efficiently.
