@yiliuai: I've always had a question: from what I know, Zhipu AI pays its AI researchers far less than companies like ByteDance, and its company culture and management are quite average. So why is Zhipu AI now considered among the best of Chinese LLMs, and basically number one in coding?
Summary
A user questions why Zhipu AI is considered top-tier among Chinese LLMs and number one in coding, despite offering lower pay and average management compared to companies like ByteDance.

Highlights OpenAI researcher Noam Brown's argument: the true ceiling of LLM capabilities is far higher than current benchmarks show, due to insufficient test-time compute, and stronger models benefit more from additional computation. This poses a serious challenge for AI safety evaluation, as many dangerous capabilities may only emerge under long time and high compute budgets.
@Xudong07452910: The best AI coding workflow might be to let AI gradually solidify its instability into a system. The author developed a source code management system for the LLM era using Fable, and the experience is very real: the model is smart, can read large amounts of code, raise issues, and fix problems, but it also makes very low-level mistakes, such as committing the build/ directory twice…
A blog post discusses the need to complement brilliant but clumsy LLMs with deterministic tools and formal workflows, using the author's experience developing the Beagle SCM with Fable as an example.
@gkxspace: LLM is likely just the first stop for AI large models. Professor Biwei Huang divides AI paradigms into four generations: First generation (1990s): Small models learn correlations. Second generation (2010s): Small models learn causation. Third generation (current LLMs): Large models learn correlations. Fourth generation (next step): Large models learn causation. Over 30 years, models have grown from small to large...
Professor Biwei Huang proposes a four-generation theory of AI paradigms, believing LLMs are just the first step, and the future lies in causal world models. Aether AI has completed a $20 million funding round, dedicated to building causal world models.
Notes from inside China's AI labs (18 minute read)
The author reflects on a visit to China's AI labs, comparing cultural differences between Chinese and American labs in building LLMs. Chinese labs benefit from a culture of collective work and student involvement, while American labs face challenges from individual ego and career ambitions.

Zhipu released the GLM 5.2 model, focusing on coding capabilities, open-source and supporting 1M context. Tests show it approaches Claude Opus 4.8 level in large engineering and coding tasks, but lacks multimodal capabilities and is limited by computational power, resulting in slower speed. The article also mentions Anthropic shutting down Fable 5 and Mythos 5 at the request of the U.S. Department of Commerce, highlighting the contrast between open-source and closed AI.
