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.

Description

Qwen3.8-Max is a frontier AI model from the Qwen family designed for advanced coding, coworking, research, multimodal reasoning, and long-horizon autonomous tasks. It is described as Qwen’s most capable model to date and the first Qwen-Max-class model with open weights announced for release. The model scales to 2.4 trillion parameters with 95 billion active parameters and is accessible through QwenCloud. Qwen3.8-Max is built to answer difficult questions and complete complex deliverables from start to finish. Its coding capabilities include autonomous project creation, self-testing, issue dispatch, CI validation, pull request workflows, and long-running feedback loops. The model is also designed for real-world work across legal review, UI/UX design, restaurant operations, structural engineering, rehabilitation visualization, sports analytics, and quantitative research. Its multimodal capabilities support images, documents, videos, interface reconstruction, visual production, application recreation, and visual feedback loops. QwenCloud supports industry-standard API protocols, including OpenAI-compatible chat completions and responses APIs as well as an Anthropic-compatible interface. By combining large-scale reasoning, agentic coding, multimodal intelligence, API access, long-context workflows, and open-weight availability, Qwen3.8-Max gives teams a powerful foundation for building advanced AI systems.
