Chinese artificial intelligence unicorn Z.ai has released a new flagship model, the GLM-4.6, with improved coding abilities, hinting at the start-up’s ambition to compete with American industry leaders Anthropic and OpenAI in the key battleground of coding agents.<\/p>\n

Beijing-based Z.ai, formerly known as Zhipu, said on Tuesday that GLM-4.6 had “competitive advantages” over leading domestic and international models such as Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4, released in May, and DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp, released on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to self-reported scores on eight benchmarks that evaluated coding, reasoning and agentic capabilities, GLM-4.6 showed improvements across the board over its previous version, GLM-4.5, released in July.<\/p>\n

However, the model still lags behind Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5, also released on Tuesday, in coding ability. Anthropic has described its latest model as the “best coding model in the world”.<\/p>\n

Coding models are one of the most closely watched applications of the fast-evolving AI industry as experts believe they are a crucial step towards artificial general intelligence, a hypothetical AI system that would outperform humans in most tasks.<\/p>\n
