GLM-4.6 providers overview: we are benchmarking API endpoints offered by Baseten, GMI, Parasail, Novita, Deepinfra GLM-4.6 (Reasoning) from @Zai_org is one of the most intelligent open weights models, with intelligence close to GPT-OSS-120b (high), DeepSeek V3.2 Exp (Reasoning) https://x.com/ArtificialAnlys/status/1980777360724226282

🔥The wait is over. The community has been asking for pruned GLM-4.6 models, and they’re finally here! 🔥 We’re releasing REAP-pruned GLM-4.6 checkpoints at 25%, 30%, and 40% compression, now available on @huggingface for the community to explore and experiment with. https://x.com/vithursant19/status/1981476324045967785

We believe open source models should work as well as proprietary ones in Cline. Here’s what we did to make it happen: SYSTEM PROMPT: Reduced GLM-4.6’s prompt from 56,499 to 24,111 characters. A 57% reduction. Faster responses, lower costs, higher success rates. PROVIDER”” / X https://x.com/cline/status/1981420111815987494

I expect GLM-4.6-Air to make an improvement similar to Qwen-3 to Q3-2507 update, or maybe even the latest Qwen round. Will be the default model between 30B and 200B.”” / X https://x.com/teortaxesTex/status/1981702360981557624

Choose the “”:exacto”” version of open-source models in Cline automatically route to the best inference provider for models like GLM-4.6, Qwen3-Coder, and Kimi-K2. Provider quality varies wildly, meaning the same model can yield completely different results at different endpoints. https://x.com/cline/status/1981370535176286355

Two quick updates: GLM-4.6-Air is still in training. We’re putting in extra effort to make it more solid and reliable before release. Rapid growth in GLM Coding Plan over the past weeks has increased inference demand. Additional compute is now deployed to deliver faster and”” / X https://x.com/Zai_org/status/1981700688401879314

We discovered GLM-4.6 was failing in Cline not because the model was flawed, but because inference providers were silently corrupting it. Using the same weights across different endpoints produced completely different behaviors. The variance wasn’t minor, it determined whether”” / X https://x.com/canvrno/status/1981403534471119330
