What the data says
Benchmarked on 11 of 27 tracked axes. Every figure below is the model's own published result on that board.
Strongest axes
- 94.9 pct — Instruction following (1,475)
- 94.4 pct — Hard prompts (1,503)
- 93.9 pct — Overall (1,479)
Uneven: 49.8 percentile points between its best and worst axis — 94.9 pct on Instruction following versus 45.1 pct on SimpleQA Verified.

Percentiles are the model's standing within each board's own population. Axes marked "not benchmarked" have no published result for this model — that is an absence of data, not a low score.
How to run it
Run it yourself
Transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "zai-org/GLM-5.3"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)Ollama
We don't sync Ollama tags, so we won't print a command we can't verify — a wrong one would pull the wrong model. Search the Ollama library →
Unsloth fine-tuning recipes are model-specific and we don't derive them here. Unsloth docs →

glm-5.3-max stands at 72.9 (raw mean 79.2) — measured on 11 of 27 axes.
glm-5.3-max stands at 72.9 versus a cohort median of 60.2 across 183 models released within 180 days — above the peer median.
glm-5.3-max scores at percentile 94.9 on Instruction following.
glm-5.3-max scores at percentile 94.4 on Hard prompts.
glm-5.3-max ranks between #18 and #52 across 6 built-in weightings — best under "All-rounder", worst under "All sources".
Every claim is a computed fact from the current board data, phrased by a low-temperature model call and rejected by a validation gate if any number is not in the source row. How the leaderboards work →
