GLM-5.1 is the first open-model drop in a while that makes you go oh... wait a sec
this one looks legit, esp for coding.
Maybe not better than @ClaudeAI or the best @OpenAI models, but the gap is shrinking fast enough that ppl should prob stop sleeping on open-weight models.
Google quietly dropped AI Edge Eloquent on iOS and its kinda wild
real-time speech to text, filler words cleaned up, and it runs fully offline on device
no subscription either
this puts real pressure on paid dictation apps
And yeah, forget the “it might cannibalize $200” argument. We get it. But that’s focusing on the trees and missing the forest. @OpenAI the real growth is the middle: vibe coders, indie app builders, and full-time workers building nights/weekends. $100 is the unlock.
