Model details

GLM 5.3

GLM 5.3 arrives as a deliberate post-training refinement of the same 753B mixture-of-experts base that powers GLM 5.2, with no new pretraining performed. Z.ai scaled post-training around long-horizon agentic coding and vulnerability research, reshaping Terminal-Bench 3.0 performance and a host of security-focused evaluations rather than retraining the foundation. The architecture carries forward IndexShare along with SAO and compaction, giving it an efficient handle on long inputs while preserving the 1M-token context window inherited from the prior generation. Open weights are available, making it suitable for self-hosting and custom deployment by teams that want frontier-style agentic behavior without locked-in inference.

Inside its intended use profile, the model is trained on environments modeled after real production workflows, including multi-step dependencies and hidden state, which lets it own multi-day engineering tasks end-to-end and pursue vulnerability research autonomously. It posts a 60 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, ranking among the top tier of contemporary models and tying Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 at roughly a fraction of the price. The hosted endpoint identifier zai-org/GLM-5.3 is confirmed by partner documentation, and pricing stays flat relative to GLM 5.2, making it practical for budget-sensitive agentic pipelines, continuous code review loops, and applied security research where extended reasoning traces and tool use matter more than absolute top-tier intelligence scores.

Z.ai released GLM-5.3 on August 14, 2026 as a post-training-only upgrade of the same 753B mixture-of-experts base that powers GLM-5.2—no new pretraining was performed. All reported gains come from scaled post-training targeting long-horizon agentic coding and vulnerability research: Terminal-Bench 3.0 jumps from 4.6 to API pricing for GLM-5.3 is unchanged from GLM-5.2 at $1.40 per million input tokens and $4.40 per million output tokens. On the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, the model scores 60 and ranks 8 of 182, reportedly tying Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 at roughly one-fifth the price.

Coverage

Z.ai has released GLM-5.3, an update to its large language model that targets complex coding and long-horizon agentic tasks. According to MarkTechPost's coverage of the release, GLM-5.3 runs on the same 743B base model as the previous GLM-5.2, with every reported improvement coming from scaled post-training — more task The reported gains land most heavily on the longest-horizon benchmarks. Terminal-Bench 3.0, which measures complex coding tasks, jumped from 4.6 to 28.3 in the new version. Cybersecurity performance also moved further than Z.ai expected, with CyberGym reaching a score of approximately 84. For developers evaluating GLM
