Overview

GLM 5.3 is the newest model in Z.ai's GLM-5 family. Its headline feature is a 1,048,576-token context window, large enough to hold a whole codebase, a long contract bundle or hours of transcripts in one request, and it keeps multi-turn tool calling for agent loops.

GLM 5.3 always reasons before it answers. `reasoning_effort` sets how much: `low`, `high` or `max`, with `max` as the default. Reasoning tokens bill as output tokens. On CallMissed, `none` and `minimal` map to `low`, `medium` to `high` and `xhigh` to `max`, so any OpenAI-style value returns a 200.

For latency-sensitive work, send `reasoning_effort: "low"`. In our tests on a short phone-receptionist prompt, the first word arrived in about 0.9 seconds at `low` and about 3.5 seconds at the default `max`. The model is text-only; send images to a vision model such as Gemma 4 31B.

Technical Details

  • Context window: 1,048,576 tokens
  • Reasoning always on: low / high / max (default max)
  • Reasoning tokens are billed as output tokens
  • Tool calling via OpenAI-compatible tools and tool_choice
  • Text input and output only

Strengths

  • Very large 1M context in a single request
  • Adjustable reasoning depth per request
  • Reliable tool calling for agent loops

Limitations

  • Always reasons, so it is slower than a direct-answer model
  • Default max effort can take several seconds before the first word
  • Text only: no image input
  • Paid plans only
