How to choose a model
The platform currently offers five models: the flagship model GLM-5.3, GLM-5.3-Flash, GLM-5.3-FlashX-Legal, Auto-Fast mode, and Auto mode. Different models consume credits at different rates, so you can choose based on the complexity of your task.
- Auto mode: Suited to most everyday tasks. The system selects the model automatically, with slower credit consumption and faster responses.
- Auto-Fast: The fast tier of Auto. It prioritizes response speed and suits simple, time-sensitive tasks.
- GLM-5.3-Flash: Suited to most everyday tasks, with moderate credit consumption and faster responses.
- GLM-5.3: Suited to complex reasoning tasks, with faster credit consumption and slower responses.
- GLM-5.3-FlashX-Legal: A model optimized for legal scenarios, suited to legal tasks such as contract review and regulation search.
You can switch models directly within the same chat, and the existing context is not lost.
