GLM-5 is live on AI Gateway

Source: Vercel Blog

Overview

You can now access GLM-5 via AI Gateway with no other provider accounts required.

GLM-5 from Z.AI is now available on AI Gateway. Compared to GLM-4.7, GLM-5 adds multiple thinking modes, improved long-range planning and memory, and better handling of complex multi‑step agent tasks. It’s particularly strong at agentic coding, autonomous tool use, and extracting structured data from documents like contracts and financial reports.

Using GLM-5

To use this model, set the model to zai/glm-5 in the AI SDK:

import { streamText } from 'ai';

const result = streamText({
  model: 'zai/glm-5',
  prompt: `Generate a complete REST API with authentication,
           database models, and test coverage for a task management app.`,
});
