GLM-5.3-FlashX
A very fast version of Zhipu's GLM-5.3-Flash model that can read images and video, offered through online services for developers.
This came out before trckr began following OpenRouter, so it was added on Nov 6 without an alert. Its release date comes from models.dev.
Key facts
- Released
- Sep 18, 2026
- What it does
- Text and chat: Writes, answers questions and holds a conversation.Thinks first: Can reason step by step before it answers: slower, but better at maths, code and tricky questions.Sees images: Understands pictures, screenshots and charts you share with it.Reads files: Reads documents such as PDFs.Watches video: Understands video clips you share with it.
Can I use it?
In an app
No app mentioned so far.
For developers
Developers can use it now through an API: How developers plug a model into their own apps and pay per use. A model that's "in the API" can be used by programmers, even if it isn't in a chat app yet..
Download
Not downloadable: it runs on the maker's own servers.
Price and limits
What developers pay to use it through the API: How developers plug a model into their own apps and pay per use. A model that's "in the API" can be used by programmers, even if it isn't in a chat app yet., per million Tokens: The small chunks of text a model reads and writes, about three-quarters of a word each. Prices and limits are counted in tokens. sent (input) or written back (output), and how much it can take in at once.

The details
A high-speed variant of Z.ai's GLM-5.3-Flash, a Multimodal: Works with more than text: a multimodal model can also look at images, listen to audio or watch video. model with Inference: Running a trained model to get an answer. Training builds the model once; inference happens every time someone uses it. speeds of up to 200 tokens/s on the same hybrid attention design.
Model ID: The exact name developers type to use a model, like gpt-5-mini. New IDs often show up in a lab's systems before the official announcement, which is how trckr spots many releases early.
