  • 2 has not only attracted widespread praise in China, it has quickly become popular around the world in the past two days. The topic surrounding glm 5.2 is very popular. For example, Musk and Teacher Tang Jie鈥檚 replies and discussions. Model progress after glm 5.2 may not have to wait until Q1 of
  • I am really looking forward to it! In my impression, GLM has always faced the gap and admitted it to the outside world, and has made obvious progress after glm

  • 2 in depth, it really brought me a lot of surprises. Whether it is long-term tasks, complex reasoning, including front-end effects, and the price is very advantageous, glm 5.2 is now the No. 1 open source for large models, and the whole world will benefit. It will also break the monopoly of the best models. A few days ago, everyone really criticized Anthropic mythos for some extremely closed behaviors. I was vaguely worried. In just a few days after glm 5.2 was open source, Anthropic couldn't sit still and took the initiative to apply for lifting the ban. Codex also announced that it supports third-party model access. I understand that this is not a coincidence. It is impossible to achieve monopoly by relying on the capabilities of large models. A closed AI system is not as good as an open ecosystem because it will continuously feed back large models. Congratulations to Zhipu, congratulations to glm
  • 2, and I look forward to the next update of glm in the near future! Really looking forward to it 馃ぉ
