GLM-Z1-9B-0414 is a 9B-parameter language model developed by THUDM as part of the GLM-4 family. It incorporates techniques originally applied to larger GLM-Z1 models, including extended reinforcement learning, pairwise ranking alignment, and training on reasoning-intensive tasks such as mathematics, code, and logic. Despite its smaller size, it demonstrates strong performance on general-purpose reasoning tasks and outperforms many open-source models in its weight class.

Sample code and API for GLM Z1 9B (free)

OpenRouter normalizes requests and responses across providers for you.

OpenRouter provides an OpenAI-compatible completion API to 300+ models & providers that you can call directly, or using the OpenAI SDK. Additionally, some third-party SDKs are available.

In the examples below, the OpenRouter-specific headers are optional. Setting them allows your app to appear on the OpenRouter leaderboards.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
  base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
  api_key="<OPENROUTER_API_KEY>",
)

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
  extra_headers={
    "HTTP-Referer": "<YOUR_SITE_URL>", # Optional. Site URL for rankings on openrouter.ai.
    "X-Title": "<YOUR_SITE_NAME>", # Optional. Site title for rankings on openrouter.ai.
  },
  extra_body={},
  model="thudm/glm-z1-9b:free",
  messages=[
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "What is the meaning of life?"
    }
  ]
)
print(completion.choices[0].message.content)

Using third-party SDKs
