Readme

This model is hosted in the United States and Europe. Like all other models on Ollama’s cloud, this model follows Ollama’s privacy policy with zero data retention.

GLM-5.3 is Z.ai’s flagship model and the most capable open-weights model for coding, with major gains on long-horizon agentic tasks.

GLM-5.3 uses the same base model as GLM-5.2 — every gain comes from post-training. Compared with GLM-5.2, it is much better at complex coding and long-horizon tasks, including a 50% improvement on Z.ai’s in-house Code Bench.

What’s new

  • Stronger coding: Terminal-Bench 3.0 improves from 4.6 to 28.3, DeepSWE v1.1 from 46.2 to 66.9, and Terminal-Bench 2.1 from 81.0 to 88.2 over GLM-5.2.
  • Long-horizon agentic tasks: SWE-Marathon more than doubles (19.4 → 42.5), with the top scores in Z.ai’s evaluations on AutomationBench (48.2) and GDPval-AA v2 (1769).
  • Security research: state of the art on CyberGym (84.5) for vulnerability discovery.
  • Adjustable reasoning effort: reasoning_effort accepts low, high, and max, and defaults to max. For chat, set clear_thinking to true.
  • 1M token context window: the same long context as GLM-5.2, for project-level engineering work and long-running sessions.

Agentic coding

GLM-5.3 is built for coding agents, including Claude Code, OpenCode, Hermes Agent, and OpenClaw. Z.ai’s results below were measured in the Claude Code harness with maximum reasoning effort.
