## Positioning

GLM 4.7 Flash is a text-only model optimized for high-throughput, low-cost workloads with long context windows. Reach for it when you need fast, reliable processing of large documents or bulk chat tasks without paying premium rates.

## About

Created by Zhipu, GLM 4.7 Flash is an efficient language model that handles up to 203,000 input tokens and generates up to 65,536 output tokens. It operates in the cheap cost and fast speed tiers, delivering a median throughput of 74 tokens per second with a 100% success rate on Kyma.

The model supports tool calling, reasoning, and structured outputs, and runs on Kyma's OpenAI-compatible API. Prompt caching is available, billing repeated prefixes at 10% of the standard input rate. Every response includes exact token costs in the usage.cost field, and the X-Kyma-Model header confirms the active model.

It processes text only and does not support vision or multimodal inputs. While optimized for speed and cost efficiency, it sits in the efficient quality tier, so highly complex analytical tasks may require a higher-tier alternative.

## Use cases

- **Bulk Document Processing** — Parse and summarize large text files quickly at low cost.
- **High-Volume Chat Routing** — Handle thousands of concurrent conversational requests with fast response times.
- **Automated Tool Execution** — Run structured workflows and function calling across long conversation histories.
- **Log Analysis Pipelines** — Ingest and categorize extensive text logs using structured JSON outputs.

## Not ideal for

Do not use this model for tasks requiring image understanding, advanced creative writing, or highly complex multi-step reasoning where maximum accuracy is critical.

## Pick something else when

- You need higher accuracy for complex analytical tasks → `qwen-3.7-max`
- You require deep step-by-step logical analysis → `deepseek-r1`
- You need multimodal input processing → `gpt-5.6-terra`
