# Z.ai GLM-4.6 — deprecation status

> No — GLM-4.6 is not deprecated as of August 3, 2026. Z.ai has announced neither a deprecation nor a shutdown date for it.

The model that took Z.ai's context window from 128k to 200k and became the default open-weights choice for coding agents through late 2025. It is named in the GLM-5.2 migration guide as a model to move off, but Z.ai has published no date for it and it is still on the pricing page.
