Overview
GLM-4.7 Flash is Zhipu AI's current glm model, released in 2026-05. Free tier GLM model. Currently in open beta — perfect for testing and prototyping.
For developers, the headline numbers are a 128K context window and up to 4,096 output tokens per response — enough headroom for free and fast without chunking your input. Priced at $0.00/1M input and $0.00/1M output, it sits in the budget tier — ideal for high-volume pipelines where token cost dominates.
On the capability side, GLM-4.7 Flash exposes 2 features: Bilingual, Streaming. Note that fine-tuning isn't supported — you'll work with the base model. It's text-only, so route image or audio workloads elsewhere.
The practical appeal of routing GLM-4.7 Flash through AI API Hub is simplicity: one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, USDT & USDC payments, no credit card, and you're calling the API in under 30 seconds — just swap your base URL.
What Makes GLM-4.7 Flash Different
How GLM-4.7 Flash is used
GLM-4.7 Flash is used for general-purpose text tasks — chat, summarization, drafting, classification, and extraction. It handles the standard text-in/text-out case reliably. For specialized workloads (coding, reasoning, vision), a purpose-tuned sibling may perform better.
Pricing position within Zhipu AI
GLM-4.7 Flash is the cheapest active model in Zhipu AI's lineup at $0.00/1M input — no sibling undercuts it. The most expensive sibling costs $0.85/1M (Infinity% more). At scale, routing high-volume calls here vs the flagship saves significantly.
GLM-4.7 Flash's role in the lineup
Within Zhipu AI's lineup, GLM-4.7 Flash is the entry-level option — cheapest per token, designed for high-volume workloads. Other glm family variants offer more capability at higher cost. If you hit quality limits, step up to a mid-tier or flagship sibling.
Real-world use cases
Real-world deployments: customer support chatbots, content drafting and summarization, classification pipelines, and extraction workflows. GLM-4.7 Flash handles the standard text-in/text-out case reliably — route specialized tasks (vision, coding, reasoning) to purpose-tuned siblings.
vs sibling models
What makes GLM-4.7 Flash different from sibling models: compared to GLM-5.1 ($0.85/1M more expensive, same 128K context); GLM-5-Turbo ($0.70/1M more expensive, same 128K context); GLM-4.5-Air ($0.11/1M more expensive, same 128K context). Choose GLM-4.7 Flash when cost per token is the priority.
