Z.ai: GLM 5.3

z-ai/glm-5.3

Model weights

Compare

GLM-5.3 is a large-scale reasoning model from Z.ai, built for complex software engineering and long-horizon agent tasks. It supports text input and output with a 1M-token context window, and improves on GLM-5.2 in coding and in the balance between performance and token efficiency.

Reasoning is always on and cannot be disabled. Reasoning efforts low, high, and max are supported; max is the default.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Without Routing

97.60%

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations and this model’s own outputs on shared benchmark prompts. Higher percentages are better — and each rank shows where this model lands among the models evaluated on that source.

GLM 5.3 FlashX Legal

GLM-5.3-FlashX-Legal (GLM-Legal) is Z.ai's legal-domain variant of GLM-5.3-FlashX, a native multimodal model that accepts text, image, and video input and produces text. It adds legal-domain mid-training and post-training with reinforcement learning in task environments modeled on real legal workflows, targeting document understanding, legal reasoning, and multi-step task execution such as legal research, contract review, cross-document consistency checks, and drafting or revising legal documents.

It keeps the GLM-5.3-FlashX 1M-token context window, mandatory thinking mode, function calling, structured output, and streaming, and is designed to run in agent setups connected to legal data and document-editing tools (MCP services).
