Z.ai introduced GLM-Legal on October 12 and invited legal professionals and businesses to apply for beta API access through a consultation application. Built on GLM-5.3-Flash, the model is designed to analyze documents, develop legal arguments and produce work that meets specific task requirements.

The company reports a 19.2% all-pass rate on Harvey LAB, which evaluates law firm workflows across 24 practice areas, improving on the base model by 12.5 percentage points. Training combines specialized legal material with reinforcement learning in realistic legal environments. Integration into Z.ai's AutoClaw desktop agent platform is promised soon.
