}'What is GLM 4.7 good for?
GLM 4.7 is one of Z.ai (GLM)'s models. Put "z-ai/glm-4.7" in the model field and the rest of your code stays as it is. GLM 4.7 keeps 204,800 tokens in view at once, and that number is what caps the conversation history in your product. A single response can run to 131,072 tokens. On price it sits in the "cheap" band — cheaper than 187 and dearer than 219 of the other paid models in the catalogue.
Capabilities available on this id: it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.
For a back-of-envelope figure: about 811 toman per 1,000-word exchange (116,050 in, 507,719 out, per 1M tokens). It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 23,210 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.
The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is Qwen3 235B A22B: GLM 4.7 works out roughly 1.1× cheaper, and its context window is larger. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.
To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 123 thousand-word requests on GLM 4.7, and every 1,000 toman is about 1,233 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 623,769 toman in total. Filling this model's 204,800-token window costs 23,767 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.
Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "z-ai/glm-4.6", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (811 and 822 toman). Maximum answer length differs as well: 131,072 against 16,384 tokens. On parameters, this one takes top_a.
Z.ai (GLM) has 17 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is GLM Flash Latest at 116 toman per thousand words and the dearest GLM 5.3 at 2,188. Among the less common parameters it accepts logit_bias, min_p, repetition_penalty, top_a, top_k — all through the standard request body. By context size the nearest option from another provider is MiniMax M2 at 204,800 tokens.
What to use it for: high-volume work such as classification, tagging and bulk summarising, logic puzzles and code review, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
GLM-4.7 is Z.ai’s latest flagship model, featuring upgrades in two key areas: enhanced programming capabilities and more stable multi-step reasoning/execution. It demonstrates significant improvements in executing complex agent tasks while...

Frequently asked
- How do I call GLM 4.7 from Iran?
- Sign up with your mobile number, top the wallet up in toman, create an API key, then in the official OpenAI SDK point base_url at https://api.uttapen.ir/v1 and set model to "z-ai/glm-4.7". Nothing else in your code changes.
- What does GLM 4.7 cost in toman?
- 116,050 toman per 1M input tokens and 507,719 toman per 1M output tokens; a 1,000-word request is around 811 toman. You pay for the usage that request actually reported, and a failed request costs nothing.
- How much input does GLM 4.7 take?
- Up to 204,800 tokens per request, roughly 154k words. A single answer can reach 131,072 tokens.
- Does GLM 4.7 support streaming and tool calling?
- Streaming (stream=true) works on every model here. This one supports tool calling in the standard OpenAI shape. Structured output through response_format works too.
