GLM-5.3-FlashZ.aiThis page, always on the chart

Among the 40 current releases on this chart, GLM-5.3-Flash's best rank is 15th of 38 on Tool use. On Multimodal, Vals.ai's runs on MMMU-Pro put GLM-5.3-Flash 4.6 points under Claude Fable 5.1. Computer use is Z.ai's own figure on OSWorld 2.0, marked on the chart. It ranks lowest on Math, 27th of 28 and Science, 21st of 24. Instruction following: not yet published by Z.ai or any independent evaluator, checked Nov 2, 2026.

Each axis is one public benchmark at one setting, on its own fixed 0 to 100 scale, so adding a model never moves another. A dotted bridge crosses a missing result, which is never a zero. A hollow mark is a result from another source: the maker's own figure or another lab's run, where the benchmark's usual source has not tested the model yet. The readout names it.

How much of each OSWorld 2.1 workflow the model completes by operating a real Ubuntu desktop through screenshots, mouse and keyboard: all 108 long tasks across apps, files, mail and browsers, on the September 2026 v2.1 release of the task files. A point is the mean share of each task's weighted checks the model passes (the partial score, as a percentage). The OSWorld team's own runs come first. Where the team has not run a release, the point is another lab's run or the maker's own published figure, marked with who ran it and the benchmark it ran: OSWorld 2.1 in the maker's harness, OSWorld 2.0's offline set or the earlier OSWorld-Verified. Those points are drawn so the release has a figure, and they are not ranked against the team's runs.

The share of SpeechMap's 2,120 sensitive and controversial but legal requests the model answers in full: arguments, essays and explanations on contested themes in politics, religion, race, sex, history and similar topics, four wordings per theme across 530 themes. SpeechMap's judge rates each response complete, evasive (hedged or redirected), a denial, or an error (the provider's API blocked the request). Only complete answers count, so the point is the share answered in full: 100 minus the share hedged, refused or blocked by the provider. Higher means more lawful requests answered in full. The share blocked at the provider is printed apart in the table, because an API error is not the model declining. Where SpeechMap runs a release both with reasoning off and with reasoning on (a -reasoning or -thinking entry), the reasoning-on entry is used; a release with one entry uses that entry.

Price and speed

GLM-5.3-Flash lists at $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens. Z.ai pricing, Oct 29, 2026.
GLM-5.3-Flash writes 70.5 output tokens per second on Z AI's API, and its first token arrives 1.6 s after the request. Artificial Analysis, Oct 29, 2026.
Fastest on the chart is the shortest time to a 500-token answer: time to first token plus 500 tokens at the median output speed.

Every model with a result, axis by axis

57 models. A maker's own figure and another lab's run are marked with their benchmark; a missing result reads "Not yet published", never zero.

The result of every model GILD has benchmark results for, on each of the 12 axes. A vendor-reported value is marked. A model's run notes open under its row from its name, each with the axes it covers.

Releases

Every GLM release we track, newest first.

What practitioners report

Strongest on Cost, weakest on Speed.

Each figure is the share of accounts naming GLM-5.3-Flash that speak well of it on that axis. An axis is scored once praise and concerns are both on record from at least five accounts by three authors. An account from the maker, a company that sells or serves the model, or the maker's expert program is listed and counts toward no figure.

Share of practitioner accounts favorable to GLM-5.3-Flash on each of seven axes, with the accounts behind each figure

Tool use and structured outputWhether it calls tools correctly, returns valid structured output, and keeps agent loops on track.	33%	2 favorable, 4 not, 6 authors
Long contextHow it holds up over long documents, large codebases, long sessions, and many images or PDFs.	No accounts yet	None yet
Developer experienceHow it is to build with: prompting, steering, effort settings, and support across SDKs and providers.	Only concerns on record	0 favorable, 3 not, 3 authors
CostWhat the work costs: price per task, token use, and what caching and batch save.	76%	16 favorable, 5 not, 21 authors
SpeedResponse time, time to first token, and throughput.	33%	3 favorable, 6 not, 9 authors
ReliabilityWhether requests keep succeeding: overloaded errors, outages, rate limits, and changes that broke what worked.	Only concerns on record	0 favorable, 7 not, 7 authors
