Pricing

  • input: $1.00
  • output: $5.00
  • cached: $0.20

Available Parameters

  • temperature: Controls randomness (0-2). Higher = more creative, lower = more deterministic. Default: 0.7 (Options: 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0)
  • top_p: Nucleus sampling threshold (0-1). Default: 0.9 (Options: 0.1, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 0.95, 1.0)
  • top_k: Limits sampling to top K tokens. Default: off (Options: 10, 20, 40, 50, 100)
  • max_tokens: Maximum tokens to generate. Default: 4096 (Options: 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, 131072)
  • thinking: Toggle adaptive reasoning. Omit for the model default. On the native Z.ai host thinking cannot be disabled. (Options: on, off)
  • response_format: Output format for structured responses (Options: text, json_object, json_schema)
  • tools: Function/tool definitions for agentic workflows

About

GLM-5.3-Flash is Z.ai (Zhipu AI)'s natively multimodal flash model — a 320B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (~18B active) released under the MIT license, built for cheap, high-throughput coding and long-horizon agentic work.

Key Features:

  • 1,000,000-token context window (repository-scale)
  • Up to 131K output tokens
  • Mixture-of-Experts: 320B total / ~18B active
  • Native multimodal input: text, images and video
  • Reasoning (thinking) always available, hybrid attention
  • Function/tool calling and JSON structured outputs
  • Prompt caching for cheaper repeated context

Best For:

  • High-volume agentic coding at flash pricing
  • Long-horizon tool-using workflows
  • Vision + code tasks in a single call
