This isn’t just another AI model release. GLM-4.5 might be the most capable and accessible open-source model ever built. It’s fast, smart, cheap, and agent-ready, making it a serious threat to closed systems like GPT-4 and Claude. China’s open-source AI race just hit a new level.
• Zhipu just dropped GLM-4.5, a 355B MoE model with unmatched efficiency
• GLM-4.5 beats Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, and even rivals GPT-4 in real benchmarks
• Massive 128K context, 200 tokens/sec speed, and ultra-low pricing
• Fully open-source under MIT license, run it, fine-tune it, or deploy it yourself
• Live demos show it coding full apps, controlling tools, and reasoning like a real agent
As of July, China has already released 1,509 large-language models, ranking first among the 3,755 models released globally, according to a report from state-owned Xinhua news agency.
