Watch out

FlashX has its own endpoint and prices, and is not currently on Coding Plan. Thinking cannot be disabled. The shared guide says text parameters follow GLM-5.3, but a FlashX-specific effort table and exact numeric output ceiling are not separately verified.

Weight availability and parameter counts remain unknown; do not inherit Flash specifications or benchmarks.
