GLM-5: From Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering

This is a huge new MIT-licensed model: 754B parameters and 1.51TB on Hugging Face twice the size of GLM-4.7 which was 368B and 717GB (4.5 and 4.6 were around that size too).

It’s interesting to see Z.ai take a position on what we should call professional software engineers building with LLMs – I’ve seen “Agentic Engineering” show up in a few other places recently. most notable from Andrej Karpathy and Addy Osmani.

I ran my “Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle” prompt through GLM-5 via OpenRouter and got back a very good pelican on a disappointing bicycle frame:

The pelican is good and has a well defined beak. The bicycle frame is a wonky red triangle. Nice sun and motion lines.
