GLM-4-9B is an AI model released by Z.ai on Wednesday, Jun 5 2024, 141 days after GLM-4. It is an open-weight model — the trained weights are available to download and run. It is a 9B parameterThe learned values that shape how a model responds. B means billion and T means trillion. For mixture-of-experts models, the total count is larger than the number active for each token. Parameter count alone does not measure quality. model with a 128k token context windowHow much information the model can work with in one request, measured in tokens — pieces of words or other data. This includes your question, attachments, conversation and reply. Limits can vary by model variant and provider..

GLM-4-9B was released in June 2024 as a downloadable 9-billion-parameter model family from Zhipu AI and the GLM team. It included base and chat checkpoints, with the standard chat model supporting a 128,000-token context window. The release offered a smaller deployment option alongside the hosted GLM-4 flagship, giving developers weights they could adapt and run themselves.
The chat model supported tool-oriented features such as function calling and code execution within a surrounding application. A separately named long-context variant, GLM-4-9B-Chat-1M, extended the family to one million tokens. Keeping those checkpoints separate avoids assigning the 1M variant's context limit to the standard model. The release also emphasized multilingual coverage beyond the earlier Chinese-English focus.
