Compared with GLM-5.2, it is much better at complex coding and long-horizon tasks:\n\n* **Stronger Coding:** GLM-5.3 is the most capable open-weights model for coding, with a 50% improvement over GLM-5.2 on our in-house Z.ai Code Bench. It also achieve open-source SOTA on public benchmarks including Terminal Bench 3.0 and Agents' Last Exam.\n* **Emergent Cyber Capability:** As we scaled post-training, cyber capability developed faster than we expected. GLM-5.3 is state of the art on CyberGym for vulnerability discovery, and its gains are largest further up the exploitation chain, where it more than doubles GLM-5.2 on exploitation benchmarks.\n* **Open Source:** We will release the weights in two weeks after launch, once safety evaluation and hardening are complete.\n\n[49 upvotes] I find it interesting, or questionable, that now 3-5 frontier-ish models have all developed some \"emergent cyber capabilities\" at basically the same time step. Maybe it (being good at finding vulnerabilities) really emerges in certain conditions, or maybe it's bandwagon jumping (me too). Maybe they're all focusing in the same direction during pre-training.\n\n[27 upvotes] Soo, Kimi K3 performance while being \\~4x smaller and \\~5x cheaper?\n\n[17 upvotes] Seems like the best overall open-wieght coding model. Despite using the same base as 5.2. Impressive!\n\nEspecially the Cybersecurity benchmarks vs Kimi are impressive.",
