Make no mistake, what the GLM team has pulled off is *heroic*. They are the largest Chinese LLM startup, they have the academic chops, state favor etc, but Mistral is the same and could get all the GPUs it needed. It did not. They're better than the entire continent of Europe.
Every model that even *maintains* the current gap from now on and until about Q3 2027 will be a heroic achievement by China.
Users praised the GLM team's heroic LLM progress and execution that outpaced Europe, calling the achievement impressive even after deployment.

I said this when GLM 5.2 was already deployed, so it shouldn't count as an update. But it was heroic, still. I didn't expect the actual latest-gen-Opus level.
"Chinese open source models are about to fall badly behind as Mythos level models employ anti-distillation."
This will age very poorly Distillation has stopped being a capability driver for GLM, Deepseek, Moonshot U can try v4, K2.7 & GLM 5.2 to test this

@teortaxesTex The fact it was heroic even after deployment makes it even more impressive honestly.
@teortaxesTex Totally. GLM went and did it while others talked. That kind of execution deserves real respe
