  • Max version scored highest among open models in the benchmark
  • Real IDE tests give these results more weight

Headline

Cursor added GLM 5.3 and GLM 5.3 Flash. GLM 5.3 Max scored highest among open-weight models on CursorBench 4.0.

Summary

The IDE now supports these models. GLM 5.3 Max led the open-weight group in Cursor's benchmark.

Analysis

Developers get more options outside the big closed labs. Flash suits quick work, Max handles heavier tasks. Tests run inside actual IDEs carry more weight than standalone ones. Solid open-model scores force closed providers to justify their pricing. Cursor keeps the same editor while letting users choose models.
