# NousResearch/hermes-agent · GLM reasoning parameter format fix for ZAI provider

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These issues and PRs concern the ZAI/GLM provider sending the wrong request parameter for enabling reasoning — using OpenRouter-style \`reasoning\` instead of the GLM-native \`thinking\` format. The work involves correcting and adding native reasoning_effort controls for GLM-5/5.2 models.
