# Use GLM-5.3-Flash with FriendliAI

> Use Z.ai's GLM-5.3-Flash on FriendliAI. Review the model ID, context window, and pricing, then choose a feature to start building.

GLM-5.3-Flash is Z.ai's efficient open-weight model. It's small, yet outperforms [GLM-5.2](/docs/examples/models/zai-glm-5-2/overview) at about one-tenth the price. If you need better performance for more complex tasks, try Z.ai's flagship: [GLM-5.3](/docs/examples/models/zai-glm-5-3/overview).

To use GLM-5.3-Flash, see the following model properties:

| Model Property    | Value                   |
| ----------------- | ----------------------- |
| Model ID          | `zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash` |
| Input Modalities  | Text, Images, Video     |
| Output Modalities | Text                    |
| Context Window    | 1,048,576 tokens        |
| Max Output        | 131,072 tokens          |

To estimate costs, see how tokens are priced:

| Pricing      | Cost per 1M tokens |
| ------------ | ------------------ |
| Input        | \$0.15             |
| Cached Input | \$0.03             |
| Output       | \$0.50             |
