GLM-5.3 is Z.AI's coding and agentic model, post-trained on the same 743B base as GLM-5.2. It targets complex coding, long-horizon task execution, and cybersecurity work.
GLM-5.3 comes with 3 selectable reasoning levels.
Pick the level right in the crowSync composer — higher levels think longer on hard problems
(and use more output tokens); token prices stay the same at every level.
