GLM-4.7 for roleplay Atmosphere and worldbuilding, from Pro and up.
Z.ai’s GLM-4.7 was a roleplay staple before the 5.x models arrived, and companion apps still send it most of its traffic. It plays mature scenes plainly and stays out of your character’s actions, but its descriptions repeat more than the newer GLMs’. Like every storyteller on LoreWeaver, it plays inside your world with your memories and lore cards in reach, and you can switch models mid-story.

The short answer
Is GLM-4.7 good for roleplay?
Z.ai’s GLM-4.7 was a roleplay staple before the 5.x models arrived, and companion apps still send it most of its traffic.

GLM-4.7 in play
Where it shines, and where it slips.
Strengths
- Following direction: Never wrote the player’s turn in 220 turns of RP-Bench, and kept its point of view and tense throughout.
- Dark themes: Plays violent and mature scenes without moralizing about them.
Drawbacks
- Narration: Leans on stock phrases and recycles its own descriptions more than GLM-5.2 or 5.3.
- Speed: Among the slowest models on LoreWeaver right now, often 12 seconds or more for a reply.
Plans and context
What each plan gives GLM-4.7.
It is included from Pro at $14.99 a month.
Context is how much the storyteller reads before it writes: the latest scenes, plus the memories, recap, and lore cards the moment needs. Bigger plans give a model more of it, which helps most in long campaigns.
| Plan | Context | Price a month |
|---|---|---|
| Pro | 16K tokens | $14.99 |
| Ultra | 32K tokens | $24.99 |
| Legendary | 32K tokens | $49.99 |
Outside the guide
How public boards rank GLM-4.7.
None of these boards tests roleplay, so the guide reads them beside its own notes from real stories rather than in their place.
A high rank on long stories tends to mean fewer slips late in a campaign; a high arena rank means people liked its prose in a blind vote.
| Board | Rank | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| EQ-Bench Creative Writing | 79 of 140 | Short stories from 32 prompts, compared in pairs by an AI judge (Claude Sonnet 4.6). |
| EQ-Bench Longform | 55 of 140 | A planned story eight chapters long, judged chapter by chapter and as a whole. A model that fades late loses ground. |
| Arena Creative Writing | 102 of 414 | Blind votes from people choosing the better of two answers to the same creative prompt. |
