Strong reasoning and coding model with a 1M context window at competitive pricing.

GLM-5.1 is part of the GLM family by Z.AI, categorized as a flagship model. It supports a 1M tokens context window and is built on a MoE + DSA architecture.

Key strengths: reasoning, coding, long-context. Parasail serves GLM-5.1 on a global fleet of current-gen GPUs behind a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint — with per-token pricing, no minimums, and dedicated capacity options when you need guaranteed throughput.
