GLM 5 Turbo
Grok 4.5GLM-5-Turbo is a foundational model deeply optimized for the OpenClaw scenario. From the training stage it has been specifically optimized for the core requirements of OpenClaw tasks, enhancing key capabilities such as tool invocation, instruction following, scheduled and persistent tasks, and long-chain execution.
Grok 4.5 was trained on datasets spanning knowledge in coding, science, engineering, and math. With both intelligent and efficient reasoning, Grok 4.5 excels at real engineering tasks and exceeds comparable leading models at these tasks.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
