Claude Opus 5.5 is Anthropic's model for long-running agentic coding and knowledge work. It combines a one million token context window with adaptive thinking that is always on, a 128K token maximum output, and a medium default effort level.
GLM-5.3 is Z.ai's flagship agentic coding model, pairing a 1M-token context window with reasoning, function calling, and structured outputs to power multi-step, tool-driven development workflows.
