GLM-4-32B-0414 is a next-generation open-source model with 32 billion parameters, delivering performance comparable to OpenAI’s GPT series and DeepSeek V3/R1. It supports smooth local deployment. The base model was pre-trained on 15T of high-quality data, including a large amount of reasoning-focused synthetic content, setting the stage for advanced reinforcement learning. In the post-training phase, techniques like human preference alignment, rejection sampling, and reinforcement learning were used to improve the model’s ability to follow instructions, generate code, and handle function calls—core skills needed for agent-style tasks. GLM-4-32B-0414 has shown strong results in engineering code, artifact generation, function calling, search-based QA, and report writing—sometimes matching or even surpassing larger models like GPT-4o and DeepSeek-V3 (671B) on specific benchmarks.
