Deep Architectural Overview
GLM-4.5 was engineered from the ground up for agentic execution. It became widely adopted as an economical drop-in backend for coding tools like Claude Code, Cline, and OpenCode with $0.60/$2.20 pricing.
Strengths & Considerations
Core Strengths
- Direct compatibility with Claude Code and agent CLI frameworks
- Doubled parameter efficiency and fast code generation
- Prompt caching hit rate at $0.11 / 1M tokens
Known Limitations
- Succeeded by GLM-4.6 and GLM-4.7 for larger multi-file repos
Token & API Pricing
