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.
