GLM 5V Turbo
GLM 5V Turbo is Z.ai's vision-enabled turbo model released April 1, 2026. It turns screenshots and designs into code, debugs visually, and operates GUIs autonomously, combining GLM-5's agentic capabilities with multimodal vision input at a compact parameter size.

GLM 5V Turbo was released April 1, 2026 as the vision-enabled turbo variant in Z.ai's GLM-5 generation. It combines GLM-5's agentic capabilities with multimodal vision input, purpose-built for workflows where visual understanding drives code generation and UI interaction.
The model focuses on design-to-code generation. Given a screenshot or design mockup, GLM 5V Turbo produces responsive components that match the original layout. It can debug visually by examining screenshots of rendered output and identifying discrepancies, then generating fixes. The model also navigates real GUI environments autonomously, reading screen elements and performing actions without manual scripting.
Despite these multimodal capabilities, GLM 5V Turbo operates at a smaller parameter size than comparable vision-language models. This translates to faster inference and lower cost per request, making high-volume visual coding workflows economically viable. Through AI Gateway, it's accessible via the same unified API with built-in observability and provider routing.
