Zhipu releases MIT-licensed GLM-5.3-Flash for $0.15/M

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Zhipu has released GLM-5.3-Flash, a natively multimodal model with 320 billion parameters, under the MIT license. This allows for free self-hosting and fine-tuning. The model is also available via a hosted API priced at $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens, making it a cost-effective option for developers. GLM-5.3-Flash reportedly outperforms models like Qwen3.7-Plus and Claude Opus 4.6 on coding and office-automation benchmarks. The TideLink platform offers a unified OpenAI-compatible endpoint to access GLM-5.3-Flash and over 30 other models, simplifying integration for developers. AI

IMPACT Provides a cost-effective, open-weight multimodal model that simplifies integration via OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
