Together AI launches GLM-5.3 Flash, a cost-effective multimodal LLM
ByPulseAugur Editorial·[22 sources]·
Together AI has released GLM-5.3 Flash, a natively multimodal model with 320 billion parameters and a 1 million token context window. This model is a distilled version of GLM-5.3, offering significantly lower costs and faster inference while maintaining competitive performance on benchmarks like DeepSWE. Perplexity has integrated GLM 5.3 into its Perplexity Computer service, highlighting its capabilities for long-context, multimodal agent workloads.

Frontier-lab model release with system card.
glm-5.3 now beats gpt-5.6 sol and claude fable 5 on agentic benchmarks
5.3 flash is right behind it
glm-5.3 didn’t even need a new base model to get there
@zai_org kept the glm-5.2 base and scaled post-training with more long-horizon environments, more diverse tasks, and more …

Deciding should you use GLM-5.3 or GLM-5.3 Flash?
GLM-5.3 Flash is 17x cheaper. GLM-5.3 is stronger on the first try. So which one should actually be your default?

GLM-5.3 Flash has arrived.
@Zai_org's first natively multimodal GLM-5 model packs 320B parameters, 18B active, 1M context, and hybrid attention.
On DeepSWE, it nearly MATCHES Luna’s performance while getting more than TWICE as much work done for the same budget. https://t.co/op…
GLM 5.3 is now available in Perplexity Computer.
Built for long-context, multimodal agent workloads, it beat GLM 5.2 on WANDR, our benchmark for large-scale, evidence-backed research. https://t.co/02FMedtoJb

<p>Been using OpenCode Go for a couple months and it's been worth it for me. I use it a lot for coding with agents.</p> <p>Right now the best one is GLM-5.3-Flash, it's on promo and gives you a ton of usage in 5h (double the normal), with 1M context and it's really solid for code…
<p>I saw the 50% launch discount for GLM-5.3-Flash and had the same reaction I usually have to model promotions: the price is interesting, but the endpoint behavior matters more.</p> <p>So I reduced the test to a few things I could verify quickly: the model ID, a plain text reque…
