Zhipu released GLM-5.3 Flash, a lightweight flagship model positioned to rival
DeepSeek V4 Flash. The company says inference is served by a cluster using more
than 100,000 domestically produced accelerator cards. Compute suppliers are
reported to include Huawei, Moore Threads and Hygon; Zhipu declined to comment.
In technical documentation Zhipu said the cluster's "hardware efficiency and
per-token cost are already comparable to mainstream NVIDIA GPUs," but it did not
specify card models.
