Z.AI Co. is set to upgrade its flagship AI model, joining a series of Chinese open-weight offerings seeking to outcompete Anthropic PBC and OpenAI.The next iteration from the Beijing-based company, GLM-5.3, will bring improved coding capabilities that will help it close the gap on AI leaderboard toppers like Anthropic’s Fable 5, the company said in a statement. Z.ai, also known as Zhipu, is iterating fast: GLM-5.3 is built atop the same roughly 700-billion-parameter base model as its predecessor released in June. Z.ai plans to release the new large language model’s weights — the underlying parameters that allow developers to download and customize the system — within two weeks.The next iteration from the Beijing-based company, GLM-5.3, will bring improved coding capabilities that will help it close the gap on AI leaderboard toppers like Anthropic’s Fable 5, the company said in a statement.
