Overview
Key Specs
Introduction
GLM-5.3 is Z.ai's latest flagship model, delivering comprehensive advancements in complex software engineering and agent capabilities. It uses the same base model as GLM-5.2, with all improvements driven by post-training. Compared with GLM-5.2, it delivers significantly stronger performance in complex programming and long-horizon tasks:
Stronger Coding Capability
GLM-5.3 delivers a significant improvement in coding capabilities, achieving a 50% performance gain over GLM-5.2 on Z.ai Code Bench. It also reaches state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance among open-source models on public benchmarks, including Terminal Bench 3.0 and Agents' Last Exam (CLI).
Emergent Cyber Capability
As the scale of post-training continues to expand, the model's cybersecurity capabilities have improved at a rate that exceeds expectations. GLM-5.3 achieves the best performance to date on the CyberGym vulnerability discovery benchmark. Moreover, the deeper it progresses along the vulnerability exploitation chain, the more pronounced its gains over GLM-5.2 become, with scores on vulnerability exploitation benchmarks exceeding twice those of GLM-5.2.
