I bought $18 GLM official subscription yesterday (5.2, but new model version was already leaking on some docs), set it up with Claude Code harness... and I’ve bumped to $80 plan almost immediately. It’s the first model that agreed on a proper security research (red team scenario), executed it seamlessly, including 0-days in WP plugins, RCE, 6.8 kernel exploit adaptation, etc - while playing against another GLM agent…

No no no, absolutely not. There's only one man that should be allowed these privileges, and his name is Dario. Dario alone can deliver us to salvation. The lord himself shalt smite these companies and models from this barren earth, and Dario will rise from the ashes to ascend to godhood. Dario. He alone has the power to decide what capabilities us mere mortals have access to.

“Today we are releasing GLM-5.3. It uses the same base model as GLM-5.2 — every gain comes from post-training.“

I was asking if this implies that 5.3 has the same number of parameters as 5.2. I can, in fact, read. What I didn't do is understand the implication of that statement. Thank you for your copy/paste service.

Apologies then. The not-reading-the-article crowd was going strong that day and it looks like you caught a stray.

It's a smart model, but it has huge troubles staying on task... it constantly builds things I didn't ask it to. Might have its uses in a tightly controlled harness, but for coding I'm switching back to a mix of K3/GLM-5.2/Deepseek V4 Flash 0731

i came back to say: i've given this another chance and while my point still stands: it's actually making up for that by being a good thinking partner.

the latest project i've been working on this has been really good. So I may have judged too quickly.

You had me in the first half

Tell me why I'm wrong.

It’s more that it just came out of nowhere. I agree with you that competition with the US on AI is net good, but by presenting lots of (imo) unrelated points I can’t just endorse the comment. And I’m not here to debate partisan talking points or speculate on why Europe isn’t participating in the AI race.

> decided to focus on bullshit like replacing its population with Pakistanis and Somalis and destroying its industry in the name of green insanity Sorry, but can we not casually drop far right extremist conspiracy theories in little side sentences?

No the Great Replacement conspiracy is what you casually dropped. I'm just noting reality. FACT 1: Based on current demograhics its is a mathematical certainty ethnic Germans (Germans without immigrant background) will be a minority in Germany in around 2050. FACT 2: FACT 1 becomes shocking at a point when you count only young people under 30 - then it's 2030s. I'd like to reiterate: within less than a decade, most o…

Please stop spreading far-right misinformation.

I think there's still a ton of secret sauce needed for serving them economically

Sure, same for building a model in an economically sustainable way. But barier to entry is surprisingly low (expect for the huge amount of cash, of course). That’s fairly surprising, given how extremely powerful that tech is. 10 years ago it was super hard to have usable “frontier” ML. You needed very complex data warehouse, feature engineers, feature stores, multi level ranking, calibrations, tons of different model…

It seems like attention methods are still evolving, just like residual connections. I’m sure there is a lot left to discover too.
