GLM 5.3 TEE
GLM-5.3 is Z.AI's open-weight reasoning model for complex software engineering, autonomous agents, vulnerability research, and long-horizon tasks. Reasoning is always on; choose low, high, or max reasoning effort (defaults to max). This text-only TEE deployment is verified through the selected provider: Redpill attestation with signed completion receipts or the official Tinfoil SDK's ATC/EHBP verification.

Live routing data
Performance and reliability
Recent averages across requests routed for this model. Your own speed depends on prompt length, reasoning effort and load.
- Throughput
- 48.0 tok/s
- Faster than 35% of 250 models
- Time to first token
- 4.6 s
- Quicker than 40% of 250 models
- Prompt cache hits
- 87.5%
- About $0.40 per 1M input tokens with caching
- Request success (24h)
- 99.7%
- Reliable
Cache hits are the share of input tokens recently served from a prompt cache across all requests. They are not a forecast of your own hit rate.
- Healthy (98% or more)
- Degraded (90–98%)
- Down (under 90%)
- No requests
