DS4 Flash absolutely kicks ass for reverse engineering and bug hunting. Almost no point in considering paying for a bigger model, although it's possible the stuff I've fed it (wide variety of older DOS/Windows stuff and device firmwares) might be easier targets.

I've been reverse engineering LEON3-FT SPARC v8 BE code, so I wouldn't say it's common :D. When attached to Ghidra through a MCP the things you can do with this are simply crazy.

https://github.com/bethington/ghidra-mcp . Works flawlessly.

Ha - I saw this, but took one look at the slopfest README and it sorta scared me away. Will give it a go thanks.

Ox Alpha is a smaller model and it was running very slowly. Chinese AI accelerators are coming along, but nVidia’s lead is huge.

GPT-5.6 Luna is also served for free to the entire world with a tokens per second rate nearly 10X higher.

No need to be so dramatic. I think it's great that they're developing chips, but the whole "RIP nVidia" claim was overly dramatic.

Is the actual Z.AI ecosystem good enough to replace the main drivers like Codex and Claude? Because it looks like Z Code is just a Codex fork. Just like the Kimi Code one is. What irks me about this is that the harnesses seem to be just an afterthought here. Don't get me wrong, I love messing around with installing Pi, getting it hooked up with OpenRouter, and just trying all kinds of different stuff, local models, e…

Both can be true though. I had the max coding plan since january and I kept using with Pi since then, even though it wasn’t as good as opus until glm 5.3. It definitely can be a daily driver if you don’t want to use Anthropic or OpenAI. It’s going to be even better with native vision now available. And i’m not messing with my setup either.

You guys read Z.ai's terms of service, right? Broad and perpetual license over inputs and outputs, and even your name and profile picture. Vague prohibitions on whatever may harm Z.ai’s "interests" or even the "national interests" of any country. Vague prohibitions on "disturbing" or "inappropriate" content, whatever that is.

I get all that. Then alternatives are: - Grok - where I absolutely have 0 trust in X.ai's interst in "pushing humanity forward". - OpenAI and Anthropic - which seem to try to be building the biggest moat they can by pushing to ban open models. And at the same time want to be an Arbiter of what level of intelligence I can use. - Google and Meta - I don't need to talk about the practices of these companies. Yes, the te…

> I don't believe that a future which OpenAI and Anthropic are pushing for has my best interest in mind.

I don't believe in that either, but these totalitarian terms are absolutely unacceptable.

It was being served for free. They were almost certainly being overloaded.

Presumably the efficiency numbers they're quoting are for the high concurrency state they were serving.

RAM was probably the bottleneck for the amount of context they were offering.

I assume it would run a little faster with lower concurrency but "RIP nVidia" is a little premature. The cutting edge inference hardware is amazingly powerful

The model weights are MIT licensed.

I'm talking about the Z.ai service specifically.

> Vague prohibitions on "disturbing" or "inappropriate" content, whatever that is. I have prompted out a lot of disturbing and inappropriate content with GLM-5.2, that would have left other American models blanched in the face or clutch their pearls. I think this is mostly a reference to Anti-CCP stuff. In fact, I don't think I've ever even had a prompt refused.

It is cliche, but I haven't had good luck with having Chinese models openly discuss historical topics like Tienanmen Square. The US models don't seem to have a problem discussing history, even if it points an unglamorous light on the US government.

None of that applies if you run it at home. Also 3rd party providers will start serving this pretty soon under different terms.

> None of that applies if you run it at home.

Yeah, running frontier open weight models on my own hardware has essentially become my dream at this point. I hope the hardware manufacturers step up production to meet consumer demand.
