Document parsing model for PDF and image OCR
GLM-OCR is a specialized GLM model for extracting structured Markdown from PDFs and images. It supports a 65K context window and is optimized for layout-aware document parsing rather than open-ended chat.
Why: GLM-OCR fills a clear gap in the GLM family by turning scanned documents and PDFs into structured, usable text with layout awareness.

Balanced Sonnet model with major coding and agentic improvements
Anthropic's Sonnet-tier model announced on September 29, 2025, with major coding, instruction-following, and agentic improvements at the same price as Sonnet 4. The same announcement added the context editing feature and a memory tool to the Claude API.
Why: Sonnet 4.5 brought meaningful coding and agentic upgrades at the same price as Sonnet 4, making it a notable missing mid-tier entry.
