GLM-5 is coming to Coding Plan Pro users within one week, and we're working to bring it to everyone after that.
To be upfront: compute is very tight. Even before the GLM-5 launch, we were pushing every chip to its limit just to serve inference. We appreciate your understanding as we scale up. Hang tight.
GLM Coding Plan prices rise for Lite and Max and first-purchase discounts end on February 11, 2026, while GLM-5 access is limited to Pro at first. Z.ai attributes this to tight inferenceRunning a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.Full definition → compute, which affects cost planning.
