GLM-4-Plus

Closed weights Z.ai (Zhipu AI) August 2024

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Language
Task
Language modeling

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Training data
tokens

Training compute

The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

How it was established
Benchmarks

The training run

What it physically took to train: which chips, how many, for how long, and what that drew from the wall.

What the numbers mean

Where it came from

GLM-4-Plus was published by Z.ai (Zhipu AI), in China, in August 2024. industry is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing language modeling.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

Training and provenance

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: training cost.

Answers

GLM-4-Plus — common questions

01

What GPU do I need to run GLM-4-Plus?

None. GLM-4-Plus is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

02

Is GLM-4-Plus open source?

No. GLM-4-Plus has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

03

How many parameters does GLM-4-Plus have?

No parameter count has been published for GLM-4-Plus, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

04

Who created GLM-4-Plus?

GLM-4-Plus was published by Z.ai (Zhipu AI), based in China, categorised as industry.

05

When was GLM-4-Plus released?

GLM-4-Plus was published in August 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

06

What is GLM-4-Plus used for?

GLM-4-Plus works in Language, and is recorded as handling language modeling. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
