#2 for slide decks · GLM-5.3 reads and writes text, keeps about 1,000 pages in mind at once, and always thinks before it answers, though you choose low, high or maximum effort, with maximum the default. Z.ai says it beats the earlier GLM-5.2 at coding and gets good results without wasting effort. Pick it for demanding programming and long jobs it carries out by itself. GLM-5.3 Prime is a faster version of it, and GLM-5.3 Flash suits work with pictures and video.

#10 for games · GLM 5.2 thinks before it answers. It reads and writes text, keeps about 1,000 pages in mind at once, and can write an answer several hundred pages long. Z.ai made it for software projects from start to finish: it keeps track of the requirements, follows the same standards throughout, and carries a job from the first brief to release on several platforms, and you can ask it to think hard or at maximum.

GLM 5Z.AI · Feb 11, 2026

GLM-5 reads and writes text, keeps about 200 pages in mind at once, and is the flagship of Z.ai's line, a model you can download and run yourself. It is made for building whole software systems, not single snippets: it plans the work, reasons about the back end, corrects its own mistakes and carries tasks through on its own. Z.ai says it rivals the best closed models on large programming jobs.
