⚡️ Z.ai released GLM 5.3

The new model is noticeably stronger than GLM 5.2 in coding, agents, and cybersecurity. Across benchmarks, GLM 5.3 is already very close to GPT 5.6 Sol. API pricing isn’t public yet, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be at least 2 to 3x cheaper than Sol.

Open weights are coming in 2 weeks.
