Description

GLM-5 is a next-generation open-source foundation model from Z.ai designed to push the boundaries of agentic engineering and complex task execution. Compared to earlier versions, it significantly expands parameter count and training data, while introducing DeepSeek Sparse Attention to optimize inference efficiency. The model leverages a novel asynchronous reinforcement learning framework called slime, which enhances training throughput and enables more effective post-training alignment. GLM-5 delivers leading performance among open-source models in reasoning, coding, and general agent benchmarks, with strong results on SWE-bench, BrowseComp, and Vending Bench 2. Its ability to manage long-horizon simulations highlights advanced planning, resource allocation, and operational decision-making skills. Beyond benchmark performance, GLM-5 supports real-world productivity by generating fully formatted documents such as .docx, .pdf, and .xlsx files. It integrates with coding agents like Claude Code and OpenClaw, enabling cross-application automation and collaborative agent workflows. Developers can access GLM-5 via Z.ai’s API, deploy it locally with frameworks like vLLM or SGLang, or use it through an interactive GUI environment. The model is released under the MIT License, encouraging broad experimentation and adoption. Overall, GLM-5 represents a major step toward practical, work-oriented AI systems that move beyond chat into full task execution.

Description

GLM-5.3 is Z.ai’s advanced coding and agentic reasoning model built through scaled post-training on top of the GLM-5.2 base model. The release focuses on frontier coding, long-horizon software engineering, agent tasks, cyber evaluation, and reinforcement learning at scale. GLM-5.3 improves significantly over GLM-5.2 on complex coding benchmarks, real-world engineering environments, Terminal Bench 3.0, DeepSWE, Agents’ Last Exam, and Z.ai’s internal Code Bench. The model is trained on environments that resemble real professional work, including tasks involving codebases, infrastructure, documentation, compute clusters, experiments, bottleneck diagnosis, implementation, testing, and measurable optimization. Z.ai’s post-training stack includes IndexShare for efficient long-context processing, SAO for reinforcement learning on long-horizon tasks, and slime for large-scale asynchronous training. GLM-5.3 supports three thinking effort levels, including low, high, and max, with max recommended for coding tasks. The model also demonstrates emergent cyber capabilities across vulnerability discovery and exploitation benchmarks, prompting continued safety evaluation and hardening before weights are released. GLM-5.3 can be used through the GLM Coding Plan, ZCode, Claude Code, OpenCode, and other coding agent workflows. By combining stronger coding performance, long-horizon task execution, post-training scale, cyber evaluation, reasoning effort controls, and coding-agent integrations, GLM-5.3 supports advanced developer and research workflows.
