Frequently Asked Questions About GLM-Image
Everything you need to know about Z.ai's GLM-Image AI image generation model.
What is GLM-Image?
GLM-Image is an AI-powered text-to-image generation model developed by Z.ai (formerly Zhipu AI). It uses innovative compact token encoding technology to generate high-resolution images from text descriptions, starting with just 256 tokens and expanding to 1,000-4,000 tokens for detailed 4K output.
How does GLM-Image compare to other AI image generators?
GLM-Image stands out with its unique two-stage token encoding approach, offering faster generation times and more efficient resource usage. Following Z.ai tradition, it is expected to be significantly more affordable than competitors like DALL-E and Midjourney, while maintaining enterprise-grade quality.
When will GLM-Image be released?
GLM-Image is currently in development by Z.ai. Based on the company's release cadence with GLM-4.6V (December 2025) and their Ying video model, GLM-Image is expected to launch in early 2026. Join our waitlist to be notified when it becomes available.
What is the relationship between GLM-Image and GLM-4?
GLM-Image is part of the GLM (General Language Model) family developed by Z.ai. It complements GLM-4.6V (their multimodal LLM with 128K context and vision capabilities) and the Ying video generation model, creating a complete suite for text, image, and video AI generation.
Will GLM-Image support commercial use?
Yes, Z.ai typically offers commercial licensing for their AI models. GLM-Image is expected to be available for both personal and commercial use, with enterprise-grade quality suitable for professional applications in marketing, design, and content creation.
What resolutions does GLM-Image support?
GLM-Image is designed to generate high-resolution images up to 4K quality. The model uses a progressive token expansion system, starting from a compact 256-token representation and expanding to 1,000-4,000 tokens for detailed, high-fidelity output.
