Model Card

GLM-5 Turbo is a foundation model by Z.ai optimized for fast inference and agent-driven workflows, excelling at tool invocation, complex instruction decomposition, and long-chain task execution in OpenClaw scenarios. It is built on top of the GLM-5 architecture (744B parameters, 40B active) with DeepSeek Sparse Attention for reduced deployment cost and up to 205K token context. GLM-5 Turbo supports reasoning/thinking mode and is designed for real-world multi-step agentic tasks including scheduled, persistent, and high-throughput operations.
