GLM 5.3
GLM 5.3 is Z.ai's latest open-weight coding model and the successor to GLM 5.2. It supports a 1M-token context window and three reasoning levels (Low, High, and Max), with High as the default. Add it to the model picker from Cursor Settings > Models. For a faster, lower-cost option from the same family, see GLM 5.3 Flash.
