GLM-5.3 Now Running on SambaCloud with High Token Speed
According to SambaNova: Z.ai's flagship agentic model, GLM-5.3, is now available on SambaCloud running at over 200 tokens per second. Built for long-horizon software engineering and multi-step tasks, the model achieves state-of-the-art results among open-weight options on Terminal-Bench 3.0 while using fewer output tokens than several closed models.
According to SambaNova:
Background
Z.ai launched GLM-5.3 as its flagship model specifically designed for complex software engineering and long-horizon agent workflows. It is trained to handle multi-day engineering tasks in real codebases and enterprise systems without requiring users to break down every step manually.
Key Details
According to Z.ai, GLM-5.3 scores 28.3 on Terminal-Bench 3.0 and 66.9 on DeepSWE v1.1, leading open-weight models while maintaining high token efficiency. On internal tests, it reaches 31.4% using about 50K output tokens per task. Additionally, it features strong defensive security capabilities, holding top scores on the CyberGym vulnerability-discovery benchmark.
Industry Impact
The model is now running on SambaCloud at speeds exceeding 200 tokens/s, which helps reduce latency for multi-turn agent loops where context grows rapidly. Major agent harnesses like Claude Code and Strix are already routing significant traffic to it, bridging frontier agent capabilities with production speed.
