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

Step 3.5 Flash is a cutting-edge open-source foundational language model designed for advanced reasoning and agent-like capabilities, optimized for efficiency; it utilizes a sparse Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture that activates only approximately 11 billion of its nearly 196 billion parameters per token, ensuring high-density intelligence and quick responsiveness. The model features a 3-way Multi-Token Prediction (MTP-3) mechanism that allows it to generate hundreds of tokens per second, facilitating complex multi-step reasoning and task execution while efficiently managing long contexts through a hybrid sliding window attention method that minimizes computational demands across extensive datasets or codebases. Its performance on reasoning, coding, and agentic tasks is formidable, often matching or surpassing that of much larger proprietary models, and it incorporates a scalable reinforcement learning system that enables continuous self-enhancement. Moreover, this innovative approach positions Step 3.5 Flash as a significant player in the field of AI language models, showcasing its potential to revolutionize various applications.
