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.

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
