Where to Use GLM 5V Turbo

Coding and code review
Generate, debug, and review code across languages, reading whole files or repos in a single prompt.

Agentic and multi-step workflows
Reliable tool-calling and instruction-following suit agent loops that plan, call tools, and iterate.

Complex reasoning
Extended reasoning improves reliability on multi-step math, logic, and technical analysis.

Long-document analysis
Summarize and extract from contracts, papers, and reports without aggressive chunking.

Use cases

Design-to-code generation from mockups, wireframes, or screenshots is a documented use case: the model can understand layout, color palette, component hierarchy, and interaction logic, then generate a runnable frontend project.

Frontend debugging from screenshots is also documented: it can identify rendering issues such as layout misalignment, component overlap, and color mismatches, then help generate fix code.

Autonomous website exploration and agent workflow support are documented use cases: it can browse target websites, map page transitions, collect visual assets and interaction details, and generate code from the exploration results.

GUI and computer-use agent tasks are documented as well: it can understand webpage layouts, GUI elements, and chart information to help an agent handle complex real-world tasks involving perception, planning, and execution.

How to use GLM 5V Turbo API

Install any OpenAI-compatible SDK, point it at api.aimlapi.com/v1, and set the model to z-ai/glm-5v-turbo.
import requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/chat/completions",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + AIMLAPI_KEY},
    json={
      "model": "z-ai/glm-5v-turbo",
      "messages": [
        {
          "role": "user",
          "content": "Hello!"
        }
      ]
    },
)
print(r.json())
const r = await fetch("https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/chat/completions", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.AIMLAPI_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "z-ai/glm-5v-turbo",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello!"
      }
    ]
  }),
});
console.log(await r.json());
curl -X POST https://api.aimlapi.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIMLAPI_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"z-ai/glm-5v-turbo","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello!"}]}'
