GLM 5.3 Flash

z-ai/glm-5.3-flash

ox-alpha out of stealth! GLM-5.3 Flash is Z.ai's first natively multimodal GLM-5 model, with 320B total parameters and just 18B active parameters for efficient coding, agentic work, and precise 1M-token context. Its hybrid sparse-and-linear attention architecture helps it outperform GLM-5.2 at one-tenth the price while approaching Claude Opus 4.8 on coding and agentic benchmarks.

GLM 5.3

z-ai/glm-5.3

GLM-5.3 for long-horizon autonomous coding and engineering workflows. This variant defaults to the model's low reasoning tier for faster responses.

GLM 5.3 Thinking

z-ai/glm-5.3:thinking

GLM-5.3 with higher reasoning enabled for harder long-horizon coding, autonomous agent workflows, and complex engineering tasks.

GLM 5.3 Flash Uncensored

z-ai/glm-5.3-flash-uncensored

GLM 5.3 Flash Uncensored is an FP8 uncensored fine-tune of the efficient 320B mixture-of-experts reasoning model with restored vision support, built for unrestricted chat, creative writing, coding, agentic work, tool use, and long-context tasks.

GLM 5.2

z-ai/glm-5.2

GLM-5.2 is Z.AI's flagship model for long-horizon autonomous coding and engineering workflows. It is built to plan, execute, iterate, and optimize complex development tasks over extended runs. This variant keeps thinking disabled for faster direct responses.

GLM 5.2 Thinking

z-ai/glm-5.2:thinking

GLM-5.2 with thinking enabled for harder long-horizon coding, autonomous agent workflows, complex engineering optimization, and real-world development tasks.
