What GLM-4.7 is
GLM-4.7 is Z.ai / Zhipu AI’s latest flagship open-foundation large language model (model name glm-4.7). It is positioned as a developer-oriented “thinking” model with particular improvements in coding/agentic task execution, multi-step reasoning, tool invocation, and long-context workflows. The release emphasizes large context handling (up to 200K context), high maximum output (up to 128K tokens), and specialized “thinking” modes for agentic pipelines.
Main features
- Agentic / tool-use improvements: Built-in thinking modes (“Interleaved Thinking”, “Preserved Thinking”, turn-level control) to let the model “think before acting”, retain reasoning across turns, and be more stable when calling tools or executing multi-step tasks. This is aimed at robust agent workflows (terminals, tool chains, web browsing).
- Coding & terminal competence: Significant improvements on coding benchmarks and terminal automation tasks — vendor benchmarks show clear gains vs GLM-4.6 in SWE-bench and Terminal Bench metrics. This translates to better multi-turn code generation, command sequencing and recovery in agent environments.
- “Vibe coding” / frontend output quality: Improved default UI/layout quality for generated HTML, slides and presentations (cleaner layouts, sizing, better visual defaults).
- Long-context workflows: 200K token context window and tools for context caching; practical for multi-file codebases, long documents, and multi-round agent sessions.
Benchmark performance
GLM-4.7’s publisher/maintainers and community benchmark tables report substantial gains vs GLM-4.6 and competitive results against other contemporary models on coding, agentic and tool usage tasks. Selected numbers (source: official Hugging Face / Z.AI published tables):
- LiveCodeBench-v6 (coding agent benchmark): 84.9 (open-source SOTA cited).
- SWE-bench Verified (coding): 73.8% (up from 68.0% in GLM-4.6).
- SWE-bench Multilingual: 66.7% (+12.9% vs GLM-4.6).
- Terminal Bench 2.0 (agentic terminal actions): 41.0% (notable +16.5% improvement over 4.6).
- HLE (complex reasoning with tools): 42.8% when used with tools (big improvement reported vs prior versions).
- τ²-Bench (interactive tool invocation): 87.4 (reported open-source SOTA).
Typical use cases & example scenarios
- Agentic coding assistants: Autonomous or semi-autonomous code generation, multi-turn code fixes, terminal automation and CI/CD scripting.
- Tool-driven agents: Web browsing, API orchestration, multi-step workflows (supported by preserved thinking & function calling).
- Front-end and UI generation: Automatic website scaffolding, slide decks, posters with improved aesthetics and layout.
- Research & long-context tasks: Document summarization, literature synthesis, and retrieval-augmented generation across long documents (200k token window is helpful here).
- Interactive educational agents / coding tutors: Multi-turn tutoring with preserved reasoning that remembers prior reasoning blocks across a session.
