GLM 5.3 Flash is a natively multimodal model designed for efficient, high-performance agentic workloads, coding, and long-context applications. It has 320B total parameters with 18B active parameters, delivering better performance than GLM 5.2 while substantially reducing serving costs. The model uses a hybrid sparse architecture combining linear attention with DeepSeek-style sparse attention, alongside 288 routed experts, 8 activated experts per token, and Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections (mHC) for improved scaling efficiency. It supports up to 1M tokens context window and multimodal capabilities for demanding agentic workloads.

Requires vllm/vllm-openai:glm53-flash or any standard vLLM image v0.27.0+ to support this model configuration.
Benchmarks measured by Vultr on B200 · vLLM. Throughput and latency vary with concurrency, input length and engine configuration, so treat these as a comparison baseline, not a service guarantee.
