Description

GLM-5.3-Flash is a multimodal foundation model from Z.ai built for high-efficiency reasoning, coding, agents, and visual understanding. The model contains 320 billion parameters in total but activates only 18 billion parameters during inference, helping reduce compute requirements. Its architecture combines linear attention with sparse attention so it can efficiently handle both local dependencies and relevant information spread across very long contexts. Z.ai also introduced IndexPool to reduce the memory and latency overhead associated with long-context retrieval at context lengths reaching one million tokens. The model was pretrained on a 30-trillion-token multimodal dataset that incorporates both textual and visual information. GLM-5.3-Flash is designed for software engineering tasks, autonomous workflows, frontend development, computer use, document analysis, and other professional workloads that benefit from visual reasoning. Its visual coding capabilities allow it to inspect rendered interfaces, identify layout or interaction problems, and use those observations to revise its work. Benchmark results published by Z.ai show that it improves substantially over GLM-5.2 on multiple coding and agentic tests while remaining competitive with more expensive frontier models. GLM-5.3-Flash can be accessed through Z.ai services and is also available as downloadable model weights for deployment through supported open inference frameworks.

Description

Inkling-Small is an efficient Mixture-of-Experts transformer model built to provide performance comparable to Inkling while using a much smaller active parameter footprint. The model has 276 billion total parameters and 12 billion active parameters, making it designed for strong capability with more efficient compute usage. Inkling-Small was trained on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems and supports native reasoning across text, images, and audio. It offers context windows of up to one million tokens, making it suitable for long documents, large codebases, multimodal context, and extended agent workflows. Users can set reasoning effort from minimal to extra high to control the balance between speed, cost, compute, and task complexity. The model benefits from improved pre-training data, post-training with on-policy distillation from Inkling, and extended agentic coding reinforcement learning. These improvements helped Inkling-Small surpass its larger counterpart on reasoning and coding benchmarks. Its encoder-free multimodal architecture processes audio as dMel spectrograms and images as 40-by-40-pixel patches alongside text tokens. By combining efficient MoE scaling, long-context reasoning, multimodal input, coding strength, and adjustable thinking effort, Inkling-Small is built for practical high-performance AI deployment.
