GLM 5.2: What Makes it So Special?

0:46 An example of necessity winning out. When the chip trade war started and sanctions came I assume they pivoted to efficiency knowing they may become constrained in the near term for getting additional high-compute capacity. The surprising thing is that they're being so open with it (a good thing overall). Compared to the capitalistic approach of the US where we just throw pallets of cash at it to brute force frontier leaps. Their (probably) subsidized budget; granted, a lot of the US companies are subsidized in various other ways like tax breaks or DoD contracts; and focus on efficiency allows them to undercut the rest of the market, especially since they _can_ build out capacity for inference compute.

I will definitely give it a try. Looks promising

Very clear & informative video, thank you! Always great when you explain those important concepts!

I am all for open models and I really applaud the chinese, but the elephant in the room is: how are they going to finance these in the long run...!?

I love glm models. They are prob the best we have in open space. But they are not perfect. I was laughing that today when 5.2 has failed during quite a trivial troubleshooting task, making a very wild guess where the actual issue was on the surface. 5.1 was making the same wild guesses. Still love them for building, but in the debugging they are quite shitty 😂

I can run this in Q4 variant on a dual Xeon with 384GB ram and 2 V100, really up to the brim. Around 50 t/s PP and 2 t/s TG, slow but can be still used as a background agent that does planning and review. Minimax m3 q6 is at 40 t/s PP and 5 t/s TG…. Testing and trying to see which I would replace Qwen 3.5 397B with.

great video as usual can you share please how you created these animations, visuals and handwritten text?

Try with pi harness which seems works well

wow, you dont have to retrain your foundational model to use multi layer attentions?

yeah, sounds impressive. it's great we have access to an actually capable model
