descriptionOverview
Overview
GLM-5.3 is Zhipu AI's latest flagship text model, using model ID glm-5.3. It shares the GLM-5.2 base model and improves complex software engineering, terminal work, cybersecurity and long-horizon agents through post-training. Official documentation lists a 1,048,576-token context window and 131,072-token maximum output.
Reasoning
Reasoning is always enabled. thinking.type: disabled is unsupported, while reasoning_effort accepts low, high or max and defaults to max.
Availability
GLM-5.3 is available through GLM Coding Plan. Zhipu states that the model API will launch later, so this wiki records official capabilities without publishing an unannounced API token price.
