GLM 5.3 and all previous models don't have a vision encoder and can only accept text. Ox-Alpha can accept video and images, so unless Z-ai added a pretty good vision encoder for this model, I don't think so.My money is on Moonshot and this being Kimi K3.5. The measured tps and latency is in-line with K3's tps and latency from Moonshot.
MiniMax M3.5 is also possible (but the MiniiMax provider is a lot more performant than the lab behind ox-alpha, so less likely).

It would be stranger to me that Kimi switched to GLM's tokenizer than that GLM added multimodal like Kimi and Deepseek both did recentlyby nylonstrung

DeepSeek literally just came out with the vision-enabled version of Flash v4 which was purely text based. Why would GLM not be able to do the same thing?by Almondsetat

Glm had made vision models in the past. Look up GLM 5v.The only question now is if it's 5.3v, 5.4/5.5 or a dedicated flash/vision model

Yeah. It could be. The Z.ai DC latency is still ~1.2s faster than whomever is serving this model.by volf_
