Key features
5GLM-5.3 is the latest flagship model, with significant advancements in complex software engineering, terminal operations, and a wider range of Agent tasks. It achieves a better balance between effectiveness and Token utilization, making it suitable as the primary inference model.
GLM-5.3-FlashX is a native multimodal model with a maximum inference speed of 200 tokens/s, delivering a faster and smoother interactive experience, making it suitable for real-time dialogue scenarios.
The vision and speech matrix includes GLM-Image for image generation, GLM-OCR for optical character recognition, GLM-ASR for automatic speech recognition, and GLM-TTS for text-to-speech synthesis. It covers common multimodal needs and can be used in combination.
From model to product, it provides capabilities such as agents, web search, MCP, knowledge bases and model fine-tuning. It supports direct connection of APIs to the production environment to integrate into business seamlessly, reducing the trouble of building links by oneself.
The Model Plaza brings together flagship models, native multimodal foundations and multiple professional models. Developers can select them according to scenarios and experience them immediately, facilitating horizontal comparison.
How to use Zhipu BigModel
- 1First, try out GLM-5.3 and FlashX in the Experience Center to confirm if the model's style and speed match your scenario, then decide on the main model.
- 2For complex tasks, prioritize using ready-made agents in the Agent Market to reduce the cost of building workflows from scratch and speed up the verification cycle.
- 3For enterprise scenarios, integrate internal knowledge bases and MCPs to make the model's responses based on proprietary data more reliable and facilitate permission control.
- 4Before connecting to production, read the API documentation and pricing page, plan the Token usage and subscription tiers reasonably to avoid overspending in the future.
- 5Follow the changelog and documentation to adopt new model versions and features in a timely manner and maintain the advancement of your tech stack.
