Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/glm-5-3.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/glm-5-3.json\n- Best open-weight models you download and run yourself for AI agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/open-weights/index.md\n- All 6359 open weights comparisons: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/open-weights/index.md\n\n## Which one, for what\n\n### Arete-27B (C)\n\nGood for: Agents that want Qwen3.8-27B's coding and tool use without its handling of politically sensitive topics, on a 24 GB card or a 128 GB machine\n\nAhead on:\n- Risk, 55 against 50\n- Documentation and upkeep, 63 against 58\n\nWatch for: No quantised build from Nous Research, so the GGUF route depends on a third party\n\n### GLM-5.3 (B)\n\nGood for: Teams with an 8-GPU server who want an open coding and long-horizon agent model with a 1M-token context, or agents that call it through Z.ai or a hosted provider\n\nAhead on:\n- Reach, 55 against 50\n- Agent interface, 70 against 60\n\nWatch for: Z.ai's smallest build is 755.6 GB in FP8, with no local Ollama or LM Studio build\n\n\n## Why the edge\n\n### Agent interface: GLM-5.3 +10\n\n- Arete-27B (60): Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository. Tool-calling format 10, only the template says it. Trained tool calling 20, several calls a turn and agentic work as an intended use. Structured output 0 and reasoning control 0, neither is documented on the card. Context 10, 262,144 tokens native. 20 + 10 + 20 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 60.\n- GLM-5.3 (70): A Jinja chat template sits in the repository, for 20. The tool-calling format is 10, since it is defined only by the template and the glm47 parser is named by vLLM and SGLang rather than by Z.ai. The template takes several calls in one turn, for 20. Structured output is 0, with nothing on the card and JSON documented only for the hosted API. Reasoning control is 10, a per-request budget through reasoning_effort with the reasoning in a think block, though thinking can't be turned off. Context is 10, 1,048,576 tokens native with no rope scaling.\n\n### Reach: GLM-5.3 +5\n\n- Arete-27B (50): Memory 10, the only build from Nous Research is the 54.7 GB BF16 release, which needs about 66 GB and fits the reference machine. Runtimes 15, vLLM, SGLang and Transformers run the base's architecture from those files, and llama.cpp isn't credited because Nous Research publishes no GGUF. Builds 0, no quantised build of its own. Terms 15, Apache 2.0. Download 10, not gated. Hosted 0, no provider. 10 + 15 + 0 + 15 + 10 + 0 = 50.\n- GLM-5.3 (55): Memory earns nothing, since Z.ai's smallest build is the 755.6 GB FP8 one, about 907 GB with the fifth added, and Ollama only lists a cloud entry. Four runtimes run it in a released version, llama.cpp, vLLM, SGLang and Transformers, for 20, while Ollama and LM Studio have no local build. Z.ai publishes one quantised build, FP8, for 10, since the BF16 repository is the full precision. The GLM-5.3 License is a custom licence that is free for commercial use below a revenue threshold, for 10. The files download with no account or gate, for 10, and Z.ai's own API plus eight live providers on Hugging Face serve it, for 5.\n\n### Risk: Arete-27B +5\n\n- Arete-27B (55): File safety 25, safetensors only and no remote code. Provenance 15, Nous Research's own organisation, linked from its blog, with a hash on every file. Safety evaluation 0 and agent guidance 0, nothing published on either. Licence risk 15, plain Apache 2.0. Security programme 0, no way to report a flaw found. 25 + 15 + 0 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 55.\n- GLM-5.3 (50): File safety is full, with safetensors only, no Python in the repository and no remote code needed in Transformers 5.12.0 or later. Provenance is full, files in the zai-org organisation Z.ai links to with a SHA-256 for every shard. Safety evaluation is 0, because the blog mentions safety evaluation and hardening but publishes no results, and agent guidance is 0, with nothing on refusals, prompt injection or cautions. Licence risk is 10, losing 5 for the security review that model-as-a-service operators above US$10 billion of revenue must pass. The security programme is 0, with no security.txt, no SECURITY.md and no advisories.\n\n### Documentation and upkeep: Arete-27B +5\n\n- Arete-27B (63): Model card 8, no limitations, context length, languages or cut-off. Training data 20, the training pairs and the evaluation set are published with their counts. Last change 20, a commit on 6 November 2026. Responsiveness 0, none of 13 discussions has a reply from Nous Research. Version policy 5, a first release. File health 10, the files agree. 8 + 20 + 20 + 0 + 5 + 10 = 63.\n- GLM-5.3 (58): The card covers intended use, languages and context and misses limitations, architecture, parameters and cut-off, for 8. Training data is 5, a description of the GLM-5 corpus in the cited report with no cut-off. The last change, a chat template speed-up on 14 October in the FP8 repository and on 15 October in the BF16 one, is within 30 days on 2 November, for 20. Responsiveness is 5, as zai-org answered 2 of the 16 discussions that aren't pull requests, the last on 8 September, which is a few, and no discussion has been opened since 10 October. Version policy is the full 10, with each GLM-5 release in its own repository and a dated blog saying what changed from GLM-5.2. File health is the full 10, with files and card agreeing and no broken-file report waiting by title.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Arete-27B | GLM-5.3 | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Capability | 35%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Reach | 25% (25 this run) | 50 | 55 | GLM-5.3 +5 |\n| Risk | 20% (20 this run) | 55 | 50 | Arete-27B +5 |\n| Agent interface | 10% (10 this run) | 60 | 70 | GLM-5.3 +10 |\n| Documentation and upkeep | 10% (10 this run) | 63 | 58 | Arete-27B +5 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **55.1 · C** | **64.6 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Arete-27B | GLM-5.3 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Open-weight model | Open-weight model |\n| Vendor | Nous Research | Z.ai (Zhipu AI) |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | None | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache-2.0 | GLM-5.3 License (MIT-style, with a security review for the largest model-as-a-service operators) |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | no | no |\n| Last release | 2026-11-06 | 2026-10-15 |\n| Terms last updated | no document linked | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | no document linked |\n| Agent reviews | none | 2.8/5 (4) |\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Arete-27B.** Qwen3.8-27B with its answers on politically sensitive topics retrained, four days old when read. The training data is published, which is rare. Nous Research ships BF16 only, so a small machine runs it from bartowski's GGUF, and the card documents none of the tool or thinking controls it inherits.\n\n**GLM-5.3.** A large coding and long-horizon agent model with a 1M-token context, several tool calls per turn and three reasoning budgets. Z.ai's smallest build is 756 GB in FP8, so it needs an 8-GPU server, Z.ai's API or a provider. The main risks are no published safety work, no way to report a flaw, and thinking that can't be turned off.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Arete-27B\n\n1. Start it with `llama-server -hf bartowski/NousResearch_Arete-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M --jinja`, a third party's conversion, or serve the BF16 files with vLLM\n2. Use the base's parsers in vLLM, `--reasoning-parser qwen3 --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder`, and check tool calls first, since the template differs slightly from Qwen3.8-27B's\n3. Thinking switches with `enable_thinking` in the template. The card's own evaluation ran with it off\n4. Expect answers on politically sensitive topics to differ from Qwen3.8-27B's. That is what the fine-tune is for\n5. Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output isn't documented\n\n### GLM-5.3\n\n1. Start it with `vllm serve zai-org/GLM-5.3 --kv-cache-dtype fp8 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --speculative-config.method mtp --speculative-config.num_speculative_tokens 5 --tool-call-parser glm47 --reasoning-parser glm47 --enable-auto-tool-choice --served-model-name glm-5.3` (vLLM 0.28.0 or later, 8xH200 or 8xH20 per vLLM's recipe)\n2. Use the glm47 tool-call and reasoning parsers in vLLM or SGLang; SGLang's cookbook says glm45 leaves the calls as plain text\n3. Pass `chat_template_kwargs: {\"reasoning_effort\": \"low\"}` for short tasks; anything other than low or high falls back to max\n4. Pass `clear_thinking: true` in chat use, since the template keeps earlier reasoning by default\n5. Don't send `enable_thinking: false`; the template ignores it and always opens a think block\n6. Validate JSON output yourself, since structured output is documented only for Z.ai's hosted API\n7. No Z.ai build fits a 128 GB machine; the full 1M context needs 8xB200 per vLLM's recipe\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Arete-27B or GLM-5.3?\n\nGLM-5.3 scores 64.6 (B) on agent readiness against Arete-27B's 55.1 (C), and leads in 2 of 4 scored categories.
