A screenshot post on r/LocalLLaMA (900 upvotes, 83 comments) shows GLM 5.1 being teased by ZhipuAI. This follows ZhipuAI's aggressive March 2026 release cadence: GLM-5 (744B MoE, 40B active) shipped in February 2026 at 5x cheaper input pricing than Claude Opus 4.6, and GLM-5-Turbo for OpenClaw agent workflows landed earlier this month. A 5.1 iteration would arrive unusually quickly after the base model.
