transformers v5.16.1 on August 26 exists specifically for the first natively multimodal model in the GLM-5 series, trained from a new base with a hybrid architecture combining sparse and linear attention to cut long-context serving cost (GitHub). Z.ai claims it beats GLM-5.2 across benchmarks at a tenth of the price and approaches Claude Opus 4.8 on coding and agentic work. Block's goose v1.48.0 already swapped GLM-5.2 for GLM-5.3 in its Z.ai provider, which is the fastest real signal available.
