>3 years of my experience with mayor frontier models comes down to this:
Do not become dependent on one model. Become dangerous through one command center.
GLM-5.2 is now selectable in Claude Code via Hugging Face🤗 Inference Providers + hf-claude.
Open models are becoming easier to plug directly into real developer workflows. 😀
Goated if you are on a free plan and consumer grade user.
It's fun and charming and can carryover context between chats until nicely.
Then it will straight out lie to you with confidence about reading the complete word file when instead uses inference from context.
Serious tasks require thinking models. 👇🏻

It’s mindblowing to me that LLMs are the fastest growing consumer product of all time
…and the “multiplayer” experience (across every provider!) is basically just being able to share a chat history
Someone is going to crack this and it’s going to unlock a LOT more usage
@AmandaCaswell Good read, and truly insightful.
I'm curious, in the article you didn't name what was your favorite model that OpenAi killed. After reading, I am presuming it was GPT-4o?
Good new first: Sol is a smart, efficient, and a significant step forward. It is the same price as GPT-5.5. Also launching in the GPT-5.6 family is Terra, with 5.5-level performance at half the price.
Bad news: at the request of the US government, it is launching today in limited preview instead of the open access launch we were planning on. We are working with the government to get to general availability as fast as we can.
I think it is quite reasonable to roll out models--especially as they reach significant new levels of capability--in this way. It fits with our long-held strategy of iterative deployment. But this isn't quite the process that we think is optimal.
Now we will with the government to attempt to get to a transparent, reliable process for early access, and to ensure that as long as our safeguards work as intended we can release widely. We want to be a reliable, dependable partner that works with all stakeholders, and we also want to live by our mission of benefiting all of humanity. I believe the government shares most of our goals, and that they are overall doing a good job in a very difficult situation.
We will work as quickly as we can to get this model in your hands and we hope you will love it.
If you want to read an interesting AI thinking trace, try "I want you to suggest two poems that you think apply very well to the current state of GenAI models like you. Don’t just pick popular poems and back justify. Think hard about options first" in either GLM-5.2 or Opus 4.8

1���⃣ Open the Flow Agent.
2️⃣ Include a specific location in your prompt.
3️⃣ Watch your scene come to life.
📍 Note: Currently available for U.S. Street View locations only.
The capability overhang from the models we have today is big enough that large-scale change to work and society over the next 5+ years is now inevitable even if AI development stops.
(And there is no real sign that AI development is slowing down, it appears to be accelerating)
@mark_k Same here. I've used gpt-5.5 instant tonight for for World Cup tracking. it's fun as "sports companion" but for any serious work it's simply 'shallow' compared to thinking variants.
We have a new version of GPT-5.5 Instant for you, and it's much more fun to talk to.
Our most-used model is now better at understanding the intent behind a question and adapting its response accordingly.
It also handles complex constraints more reliably and makes shopping and local recommendations more useful and cohesive.
