GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-5.3-flashGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-5.3-flashGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-5.3-flashGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-4.5GLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-4.5GLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-4.5-airGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-4.5-airGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-4.5-airGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-4.6GLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-4.6GLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-4.6GLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-4.7GLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-4.7GLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

POST /v1/responsesAiloot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
Model-level reference schedules do not change method selection, quotes or charges. Active charges use the selected Ailoot method rates.
Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.

glm-4.7GLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-5-turboGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-5-turboGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-flashGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

POST /v1/messagesAiloot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
Model-level reference schedules do not change method selection, quotes or charges. Active charges use the selected Ailoot method rates.
Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.

glm-flashGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-flashGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-flash-latestGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-flash-latestGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

glm-flash-latestGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

z-ai/glm-5.3-flashGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

z-ai/glm-5.3-flashGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

z-ai/glm-5.3-flashGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

~z-ai/glm-flash-latestGLM 5.3 Flash is a Z.ai multimodal model for visual development, document analysis and agentic work with text results.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
GLM 5.3 Flash combines understanding of text, images, video and files. It produces a text response and is intended for coding with visual feedback, document processing and professional tasks. Context of up to one million tokens and maximum output of 128 thousand tokens are declared.
The model contains 320 billion parameters, with 18 billion active. Hybrid attention combines sparse and linear processing, while specialized inter-layer connections help maintain stability as scale increases. Multimodal material is included in pretraining.
Visual information participates in the workflow: an assistant examines an interface or rendered result, compares it with the task and proposes corrections. This explains the manufacturer's emphasis on checking the actual visual result after writing code.
Reasoning is always enabled. Depth is selected through low, high and max; a disabled mode is not provided. Reasoning history can be retained between steps during long workflows.
For a tool, the model produces a function name and arguments, the application executes the action and passes the result back. JSON is suitable for programmatic response processing: expected fields are specified through instructions, while syntax and value meaning are checked separately. Streaming allows text to be received incrementally.
Caching a repeated instruction or history helps reuse processed context. According to Z.ai, it reduces repeated processing in suitable tasks; actual reuse is determined by the result of the particular request.
The model can analyze multiple screenshots of one product, relationships between pages, shared components, interface states and animations. In an agentic environment with tools, it writes code, runs an application, inspects screenshots of the result and corrects mismatches. In game development, this cycle covers rules, movement, interactions, scores and ending a game session.
For presentations, reports and spreadsheets, the model considers content together with layout: text, images, diagrams and element placement. Through tools, it can create and check PPTX, PDF, DOCX and XLSX material. These files are application results; the model's direct response remains text.
Financial analysis includes work with reporting, checks of formula consistency and separate consideration of disclosed data, assumptions and conclusions. In the manufacturer's described workflow, data comes from the task material.
In an agentic environment, the model can analyze video, the temporal sequence of events, participants' visual characteristics and subtitles. Tools provide editing and saving of the result.
When working with a three-dimensional scene or drawing, it connects spatial descriptions, proportions and visible results. The tool cycle includes construction, rendering from a specified viewpoint, visual comparison and correction. Similarly, the model can analyze an application screen and help with sequential interface work.
These workflows describe model properties in an environment with the necessary tools. Accepted material is determined by the selected method; visual understanding does not mean that video or file processing, or creation of the listed artifacts, is automatically available in every request.

Technical example in English
Audit a report calculation\n\nReview these report rows supplied as text: revenue 12,000; cost of goods 7,000; delivery expense 800; reported gross profit 4,200. The report defines gross profit as revenue minus cost of goods, excluding delivery. Identify the formula mismatch, show the defined calculation and suggest a separate label for the delivery-adjusted figure.A formula check, arithmetic using the given definition and a suggested label distinguishing the two measures.Check that the report's stated definition, rather than an invented accounting rule, determines the correction.
