Description

Beam represents Reflection’s inaugural open-weight model, characterized as a sparse Mixture-of-Experts framework featuring a staggering 501 billion parameters, of which 23 billion are actively utilized, specifically crafted for tasks involving coding, reasoning, and agentic functions. Its prowess is derived from extensive pretraining and reinforcement learning, having been developed using a vast dataset of 23.8 trillion diverse, high-quality tokens sourced from the web, public domains, and proprietary licensed materials. With a targeted emphasis on enhancing coding and agentic capabilities, Beam is engineered to provide competitive open-weight performance while ensuring efficient inference compute. This model adeptly handles a wide array of tasks, including intricate software engineering, terminal operations, STEM activities, web searches, tool utilization, and general knowledge inquiries. Reinforcement learning techniques have been employed to bolster its abilities in multi-step reasoning, tool application, and responsiveness to environmental feedback. Moreover, users have the flexibility to manage the balance between efficiency and performance through an adjustable reasoning effort parameter, thus tailoring the model's output to better suit their specific needs.

Description

GLM-5.3 is Z.ai’s advanced coding and agentic reasoning model built through scaled post-training on top of the GLM-5.2 base model. The release focuses on frontier coding, long-horizon software engineering, agent tasks, cyber evaluation, and reinforcement learning at scale. GLM-5.3 improves significantly over GLM-5.2 on complex coding benchmarks, real-world engineering environments, Terminal Bench 3.0, DeepSWE, Agents’ Last Exam, and Z.ai’s internal Code Bench. The model is trained on environments that resemble real professional work, including tasks involving codebases, infrastructure, documentation, compute clusters, experiments, bottleneck diagnosis, implementation, testing, and measurable optimization. Z.ai’s post-training stack includes IndexShare for efficient long-context processing, SAO for reinforcement learning on long-horizon tasks, and slime for large-scale asynchronous training. GLM-5.3 supports three thinking effort levels, including low, high, and max, with max recommended for coding tasks. The model also demonstrates emergent cyber capabilities across vulnerability discovery and exploitation benchmarks, prompting continued safety evaluation and hardening before weights are released. GLM-5.3 can be used through the GLM Coding Plan, ZCode, Claude Code, OpenCode, and other coding agent workflows. By combining stronger coding performance, long-horizon task execution, post-training scale, cyber evaluation, reasoning effort controls, and coding-agent integrations, GLM-5.3 supports advanced developer and research workflows.
