How to Use GLM-5.3
The Playground and API share the same model ID, so three steps take a tested prompt into production.
Step 1
Validate online
Test the system prompt, temperature, and output length in the Playground.
Step 2
Manage API keys
View an existing key or create another after signing in; one key works across all available models.
Step 3
Integrate your server
Send requests to /v1/chat/completions and track cost with the usage object.
Frequently asked questions
What is GLM-5.3?
GLM-5.3 is a Zhipu AI text model. HiAPI exposes it through an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint for text input and text output.
Which endpoint and model ID should I use for GLM-5.3?
Send POST requests to /v1/chat/completions and set model to glm-5.3. Image, video, and audio models use the separate asynchronous /v1/tasks protocol.
Does GLM-5.3 support streaming, JSON Mode, and function tools?
Yes. Set stream=true for SSE; use response_format.type=json_object for JSON Mode; and use tools with tool_choice for OpenAI-compatible function calling. After executing a tool, continue with the original assistant.tool_calls and a matching role=tool message.
Does GLM-5.3 support image input or the Responses API?
The current HiAPI public integration exposes text Chat Completions only. Image input and the Responses API are not part of this integration. Responses may include reasoning_content, but no user-selectable reasoning effort parameter is exposed.
How is GLM-5.3 billed?
HiAPI bills actual input and output tokens; cached-read tokens are reported separately in usage when present. Use the API response and HiAPI call logs as the source of truth for final usage and charges.
