glm-5.3 real-task evaluations

Every report keeps its original task, method, finding, limitation, evaluator identity and verification date. A community report is evidence about that run, not a universal score.

  • AI Coding Daily LLM Coding Leaderboard

    By AI Coding Daily (@AICodingDaily). Coding-model testing channel and website that runs its own leaderboard and sells premium tutorials and channel advertising Published 2026-09-24; retrieved 2026-09-24; verified 2026-09-24.

    Task
    Implement and harden production-shaped projects in several stacks, including a Laravel app, a Go service and a React/TypeScript app, from the same prompts
    Method
    Each model and reasoning setting is a separate row run in a coding harness, with the average cost and time per run. Code quality is graded by a judge model against a published 100-point rubric and scaled to 20 points per project; behavioural reliability runs each of four projects five times and scores the checks every attempt fails.
    Finding
    GLM-5.3 at high reasoning scored 49.92 for $0.19 and 4 min 58 s per run in OpenCode, 18th of 47 rows, just below GPT-6 Luna at xhigh (49.94) and well above GLM-5.3-Flash (42.82).
    Limitation
    One author's benchmark whose code-quality half is graded by a judge model; rows run in different harnesses, the page is updated as models are added (read on 2026-09-24, 47 rows), and the author sells premium tutorials and advertising.

  • kzhu's six-question LLM test leaderboard

    By AI产品狙击手 kzhu (@kevinzhu9305). Chinese YouTube reviewer who scores models on a six-question test and publishes every score with per-question notes Published 2026-09-24; retrieved 2026-09-24; verified 2026-09-24.

    Task
    Six questions scored out of 10: constrained sentence writing, two reasoning puzzles (replaced by pelican and compound-bow SVG animations in version 2.2), a browser OS with a space shooter, a 3D racing game and a Trello-style board
    Method
    Each row names the harness the model ran in (Pi, Claude Code, WorkBuddy and others) and the date; the author scores every question with a note, and warns that totals are only comparable within one test version.
    Finding
    GLM-5.3 scored 52/60 on version 2.1 in Claude Code at high reasoning: both reasoning puzzles right, nine of ten constrained sentences, a good browser OS and space shooter, a handsome racing game with reversed steering and a Trello board with weak drag animation; at the time it tied for first place.
    Limitation
    One author's scores on six questions; rows use different harnesses and test versions (2.1 or 2.2), and a few rows' table total differs by one point from the author's note.
