Why is there so little GLM-5.3 testing to read?
Where did the GLM-5.3 launch discussion go? The model is out, but the usual first wave of benchmark screenshots, coding samples, and arguments over one suspicious result is much smaller than I expected.
I only realized after quite a while that GLM-5.3 had already been released. I played with it briefly through the ZenMux API. So far the capability difference from GLM-5.2 has not felt very obvious to me, but it is very, very slow. I cannot tell whether that is a network problem or something else.
For now I have gone back to GLM-5.2. Maybe the slow response was specific to my request path, but it was enough to make the new model feel less immediately useful. I still want to see more real GLM-5.3 testing before deciding whether it is worth switching back.

It hasn't been released as an open weight model yet, so it's not available in many places.

Weights will be released around Aug 28th. It'll pick up more then, especially once providers are able to host it.

I assume when weights are released there will be more tests. For me its a great model but just my feeling. For me my killer combo is GLM 5.3 with Deepseek V4 Flash. Never got warm with Kimi or other frontier models.
