South Korea's KOSPI rose 11.5% this week, snapping a seven-week losing streak.

Zhipu (02513.HK) said it released GLM-5.3 today, using the same base model as GLM-5.2 and attributing all performance gains to post‑training optimization. The company said GLM-5.3 improves performance on complex coding and long‑horizon tasks, delivering a 50% uplift versus GLM-5.2 on its internal Z.ai code benchmark. Zhipu called GLM-5.3 the most capable open‑source weight model and said network‑capability gains during scaled post‑training deployment exceeded expectations. On the CyberGym platform, GLM-5.3 led vulnerability discovery tests, with improvements concentrated in later stages of exploit chains and more than double the exploitation‑benchmark performance of GLM-5.2. Pending security evaluation and hardening, Zhipu plans to publish the model weights two weeks after release.
