GLM-Image

zai-org · GLM-Image

GLM-Image is an image generation model adopts a hybrid autoregressive + diffusion decoder architecture. In general image generation quality, GLM‑Image aligns with mainstream latent diffusion approaches, but it shows significant advantages in text-rendering and knowledge‑intensive generation scenarios. It performs especially well in tasks requiring precise semantic understanding and complex information expression, while maintaining strong capabilities in high‑fidelity and fine‑grained detail generation. In addition to text‑to‑image generation, GLM‑Image also supports a rich set of image‑to‑image tasks including image editing, style transfer, identity‑preserving generation, and multi‑subject consistency. + Autoregressive generator: a 9B-parameter model initialized from GLM-4-9B-0414, with an expanded vocabulary to incorporate visual tokens. The model first generates a compact encoding of approximately 256 tokens, then expands to 1K–4K tokens, corresponding to 1K–2K high-resolution image outputs. + Diffusion Decoder: a 7B-parameter decoder based on a single-stream DiT architecture for latent-space image decoding. It is equipped with a Glyph Encoder text module, significantly improving accurate text rendering within images. Post-training with decoupled reinforcement learning: the model introduces a fine-grained, modular feedback strategy using the GRPO algorithm, substantially enhancing both semantic understanding and visual detail quality.

Frequently asked questions

Do open weights permit free commercial use?

Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Are these real-time billing prices?

These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
