Superseded by the GLM-5 series, but still a low-cost open model for coding tools, with a free Flash version.
Kenning's take
What it does
GLM-4.7 is a text model from Z.ai that improved on GLM-4.6 for code generation, reasoning and multi-step agent work. Z.ai also released a smaller GLM-4.7-Flash. It is available through the Z.ai API, the GLM Coding Plan and as MIT-licensed open weights.
- Agentic coding for multi-step tasks
- Improved tool calling
- Better front-end and document output
- GLM-4.7-Flash small version
- MIT open-source licence
Who it suits. Developers wanting a lower-cost open model for coding tools and agents.
