Capabilities

What Z.ai: GLM 5.3 Prime can do.

Reasoning

Extended reasoning

Works through problems step by step before answering, trading latency for accuracy on harder tasks.

Adjustable effort

Choose how much the model deliberates per request — trade speed for depth as the task demands.

Development

Tool calling

Calls external functions mid-response, then continues reasoning from the result.

Structured output

Returns responses constrained to a JSON schema, ready to parse without cleanup.

Streaming

Streams tokens as they're generated instead of waiting on the full response.

Pricing

Pay for what you use.

Every model in UltraGPT runs behind one flat subscription — this is the underlying per-token cost the catalog tracks.
