GLM-5.1 from Z-AI is live on Chat-O. It’s a focused upgrade over GLM-5 in one specific area: handling long-horizon tasks — multi-step coding jobs where a model has to stay coherent across many rounds of work rather than producing a single one-shot answer.
Z-AI specifically calls out long-horizon tasks as a chief area of improvement, which made GLM-5.1 a natural fit for the Power tier on Chat-O.
| Task | Better pick |
|---|---|
| Quick code gen or chat | GLM-5 Balanced — cheaper |
| Multi-step refactors, agentic loops | GLM-5.1 Power |
| Whole-repo analysis needing 1M context | GLM-5.2 — much longer window |
GLM-5.1 is the choice when your task is too long for GLM-5 to stay focused but doesn’t need the full 1M-token window of GLM-5.2.
Pick GLM-5.1 in the model dropdown on any chat. Power-tier credits apply — if you’re on the free tier, you still get trial credits to test it.
