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.

Description

We present the Granite series of decoder-only code models specifically designed for tasks involving code generation, such as debugging, code explanation, and documentation, utilizing programming languages across a spectrum of 116 different types. An extensive assessment of the Granite Code model family across various tasks reveals that these models consistently achieve leading performance compared to other open-source code language models available today. Among the notable strengths of Granite Code models are: Versatile Code LLM: The Granite Code models deliver competitive or top-tier results across a wide array of code-related tasks, which include code generation, explanation, debugging, editing, translation, and beyond, showcasing their capacity to handle various coding challenges effectively. Additionally, their adaptability makes them suitable for both simple and complex coding scenarios. Reliable Enterprise-Grade LLM: All models in this series are developed using data that complies with licensing requirements and is gathered in alignment with IBM's AI Ethics guidelines, ensuring trustworthy usage for enterprise applications.
