What is GLM-Image?

GLM-Image is a next-generation multimodal image model powered by a hybrid autoregressive + diffusion design. The autoregressive component plans global layout and logic using visual tokens derived from GLM-4-9B, while the diffusion decoder refines fine details and textures. This setup delivers superior performance in text-heavy and knowledge-intensive generation tasks, supporting resolutions up to 2048px and various aspect ratios.

Key highlights include native multi-line text rendering (especially strong in Chinese and English), image editing capabilities, and consistent multi-subject outputs—all accessible through SuperMaker AI's user-friendly interface.
