I was wrong
I've been saying for months that open source AI models are 6 months behind frontier
They caught up. GLM 5.2 is as good as Opus 4.8
This changes everything. If you run GLM 5.2 locally no government can take it away. You become sovereign
And even if you run through APIs, its a fraction of the cost
The battlefield is different now. If open source is as good as frontier, and people have cheaper alternatives, governments can't be as quick to regulate. It will destroy the frontier AI labs
All of this is such a massive win for the people
If you are not paying attention to local models yet, you are making a tremendous mistake
