GLM 5.3 Flash
z-ai/glm-5.3-flashox-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-5.3GLM-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 Flash Uncensored
z-ai/glm-5.3-flash-uncensoredGLM 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-5.2GLM-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.
