Evidence
  • ✓ exact tokenizer signature shared with 8 models

Identity statement

Z.ai: GLM 5 is Z.ai's model, and its measured tokenizer sits in Z.ai's own signature group alongside its sibling models. Measured models from Aion Labs carry the same vocabulary, which reads as reuse of Z.ai's tokenizer line and questions nobody's authorship; they are listed under "Shares this fingerprint" below.

The measured fingerprint

What each test string cost this model, in tokens

We sent Z.ai: GLM 5 fifty short pieces of text and recorded what each one cost it in tokens. The bars below are those costs. Two models built on the same tokenizer produce the same bars; a model built on a different one produces a different set, which is what makes this a fingerprint.
