GLM-5 Turbo
Zhipu released a quick version of its GLM-5 model, made for AI agents that work through tasks on their own, available through online services.
This came out before trckr began following OpenRouter, so it was added on Nov 6 without an alert. Its release date comes from OpenRouter.

The details
A fast Z.ai model tuned for agent-driven workflows such as OpenClaw scenarios, listed on OpenRouter: A service that gives developers one place to use hundreds of models from many labs. New models often appear there early, sometimes anonymously..
Model ID: The exact name developers type to use a model, like gpt-5-mini. New IDs often show up in a lab's systems before the official announcement, which is how trckr spots many releases early.
