Rumors suggest Zhipu is preparing to release GLM-5.3. The new version reportedly shares the same parameter count and pre-trained base as GLM-5.2, focusing primarily on post-training enhancements. It is expected to outperform Kimi K3 and match GPT-5.6, though it may remain a text-only model.
Developer @teortaxesTex expressed optimism, noting that the base model has significant room for improvement. He predicts its ceiling will surpass V4-Flash, potentially hitting 55 on the AA benchmark.
