GLM 5.5
GLM 5.5 is the next-generation Zhipu AI (Z.ai) model expected to follow GLM 5.2. Z.ai has not announced a release date, size, or pricing yet — this page tracks verified GLM 5.5 news, release signals, and community discussion in one place.
Model orientation / 00
What Is the GLM 5.5 Model?
GLM 5.5 is the expected next large language model from Zhipu AI (Z.ai), the team behind GLM 5 and GLM 5.2. Because Z.ai has not announced GLM 5.5 yet, this page separates confirmed facts from expectations instead of repeating rumors.
Workflow note 01
The next step in the GLM family
GLM 5.5 refers to the anticipated next-generation large language model from Zhipu AI (Z.ai). As of August 2026 it has not been officially announced; the latest Z.ai flagship remains GLM 5.2, released on June 16, 2026.
Workflow note 02
A release tracker, not a rumor mill
This page records what Z.ai has publicly confirmed, marks every unconfirmed detail — release date, GLM 5.5 size, and GLM 5.5 pricing — as unconfirmed, and keeps speculation clearly labeled as speculation.
Workflow note 03
What the GLM line already tells us
Each recent GLM release has advanced coding, long-horizon reasoning, and agentic workflows while keeping open weights and low-cost API access. A GLM 5.5 model is expected to continue that trajectory, subject to official confirmation.
GLM 5.5 release status / 01
GLM 5.5 release date, size, and pricing: what we know
A GLM 5.5 release has not been announced, so the honest answer is that almost nothing is confirmed. This table separates what Z.ai has actually published from what the community expects.

Tracked expectations
What the community expects
- GLM 5.5 open source
- Likely, unconfirmed
- GLM 5.5 pricing
- Unannounced
- Free access
- Expected on glm5.app
- Size and context
- Unconfirmed
GLM 5.2 ships under the MIT license on Hugging Face. A GLM 5.5 open-source release would follow that precedent.
GLM 5.2 API pricing is about $1.40 input / $4.40 output per 1M tokens. GLM 5.5 pricing is not announced.
glm5.app offers free GLM 5.2 credits today. GLM 5.5 free access depends on the release.
GLM 5.2 documents a 1M-token context window. GLM 5.5 size and context are not confirmed.
Status is checked against Z.ai’s public communications. Any detail not listed as confirmed here should be treated as unverified until Z.ai announces GLM 5.5.
What to expect / 02
What to expect from the GLM 5.5 model
Expectations for the GLM 5.5 model come from the GLM line’s trajectory, not from an official spec sheet. Treat each item as a likely direction, not a confirmed capability.
Coding and long-horizon tasks
Every recent GLM release has focused on coding and long-horizon workflows. The GLM 5.5 model is expected to build on that pattern rather than redefine it.
Agentic workflows
GLM 5.2 emphasizes agentic engineering with tool use and effort-level control. A GLM 5.5 release would likely keep strengthening autonomous multi-step workflows.
Open weights
Z.ai has open-sourced GLM models under the MIT license. Community expectations for GLM 5.5 open source follow that precedent until an announcement says otherwise.
Cost-efficient access
GLM pricing has stayed a fraction of comparable frontier models. GLM 5.5 pricing is unannounced but expected to stay competitive.

What will GLM 5.5 pricing be?
GLM 5.5 pricing has not been announced.
