I hope it's K3 level and below 1T, we need more competition!

Edit: GLM dropped

on the extreme opposite side of the spectrum:

Are these any good? I mean, within their size class, obviously - not expecting them to compare to Kimi K3!

Models the size of that 135M one open up some interesting use cases for edge devices.

it's by far best sub trillion parameter model. fits in 512gb with 1m context at q4. Or less rental hardware than any model that scores higher than it.

this has been a crazy few weeks! lol

Very likely the same architecture, just with more post training.

What makes you say that? Not arguing, just curious.

Just repeating rumors (sorry, should have been clearer): GLM 5.3 is 5.2 with extra post training, their big upcoming model is 5.5. It kind of makes sense too; pretraining on a new architecture/size is expensive and it's natural for these companies to try to wring an extra minor version or two out of each one.
