GLM-5.3 (Fully Tested): I GOT EARLY ACCESS & IT'S #1 ON MY BENCH!

From the creator

GLM Coding Plan (affiliate link - not sponsored): https://z.ai/subscribe?ic=NWKPDIY9WD In this video, I'll be testing the new GLM-5.3 model from Z AI, which brings major improvements over GLM-5.2, especially in coding, security analysis, frontend generation, and complex benchmark tasks. -- Key Takeaways: 🚀 GLM-5.3 is a major upgrade over GLM-5.2 while keeping the same parameter count and architecture. 🔐 The model is specialized in security analysis, code auditing, vulnerability discovery, and defensive AI use cases. 🛡️ Z AI is launching the Open-Source Shield initiative to make defensive capabilities more accessible while restricting high-risk misuse. 💻 GLM-5.3 shows major improvements in coding, frontend design, backend logic, simulations, and complex app generation. 📊 On KingBench 3, GLM-5.3 scores 73 out of 80, reaching 91.25 percent and taking the number 1 spot. 🏆 It beats Fable 5, Qwen 3.8 Max, Opus 4.8, Opus 5, and Kimi K3 on this benchmark. ⚡ GLM-5.3 improves from GLM-5.2’s 75 percent score to 91.25 percent in just about 2 months, which is a huge jump. 👍 Overall, GLM-5.3 looks like one of the strongest open coding models available right now, with especially impressive security and development capabilities.
