# GLM-5.3-FlashX

GLM-5.3-FlashX is the high-speed serving option for Z.AI's natively multimodal GLM-5.3-Flash weights, aimed at latency-sensitive coding and agent loops. It keeps the same always-on thinking, tool calling, and visual understanding of interfaces and rendered output as its Flash sibling, trading a higher rate for faster responses. Its published context window is 1,000,000 tokens. The advertised input rate is $0.37 per million input tokens. The advertised output rate is $1.25 per million output tokens.
