GLM 5.3 Flash

Instantly via the EU router or as a dedicated GPU deployment. Data stays in Europe.

We introduce GLM-5.3-Flash, the first natively multimodal model in the GLM-5 series. With 320B total parameters and just 18B active parameters, it outperforms GLM-5.2 across benchmarks and real-world workloads at one-tenth the price, while approaching Claude Opus 4.8 on coding an...

Frequently asked questions

Can I run GLM 5.3 Flash in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs GLM 5.3 Flash on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM. Prompts and outputs never leave the EU and there is no US cloud provider in the chain.

Is hosting GLM 5.3 Flash GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All processing happens inside the EU, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Open-source weights also mean: no training on your data.

How much does GLM 5.3 Flash cost?

Via the shared EU router you pay €0.23 per million input tokens and €0.58 per million output tokens, with no fixed costs. For high volume or isolation you can also run GLM 5.3 Flash as a dedicated hourly GPU instance.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. You use the standard OpenAI SDKs with a custom base URL (https://hostyourai.com/api/v1). The Anthropic Messages API is supported as a drop-in as well.

GLM 5.3

GLM-5.3 uses the same base model as GLM-5.2 — every gain comes from post-training. Compared with GLM-5.2, it is much better at complex coding and long-horizon tasks:

GLM 5.2

We're introducing GLM-5.2, our latest flagship model for long-horizon tasks. It marks a substantial leap in long-horizon task capability over its predecessor GLM-5.1 and, for the first time, delivers that capability on a solid 1M-token context. GLM-5.2's new capabilities include: - Solid 1M Context: A solid 1M-token context that stably sustains long-horizon work - Advanced Coding with Flexible Effort: Stronger coding capabilities with multiple thinking effort levels to balance performance and latency - Improved Architecture: We propose IndexShare, which reuses the same indexer across every fou

GLM 5.1

GLM-5.1 is our next-generation flagship model for agentic engineering, with significantly stronger coding capabilities than its predecessor. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on SWE-Bench Pro and leads GLM-5 by a wide margin on NL2Repo (repo generation) and Terminal-Bench 2.0 (real-world terminal tasks).

GLM 5

We are launching GLM-5, targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks. Scaling is still one of the most important ways to improve the intelligence efficiency of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Compared to GLM-4.5, GLM-5 scales from 355B parameters (32B active) to 744B parameters (40B active), and increases pre-training data from 23T to 28.5T tokens. GLM-5 also integrates DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), largely reducing deployment cost while preserving long-context capacity.

GLM 4.7 Flash

GLM-4.7-Flash is a 30B-A3B MoE model. As the strongest model in the 30B class, GLM-4.7-Flash offers a new option for lightweight deployment that balances performance and efficiency.

GLM Image

GLM-Image is an image generation model adopts a hybrid autoregressive + diffusion decoder architecture. In general image generation quality, GLM‑Image aligns with mainstream latent diffusion approaches, but it shows significant advantages in text-rendering and knowledge‑intensive generation scenarios. It performs especially well in tasks requiring precise semantic understanding and complex information expression, while maintaining strong capabilities in high‑fidelity and fine‑grained detail generation. In addition to text‑to‑image generation, GLM‑Image also supports a rich set of image‑to‑imag
