Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Zhipu AI for the week ending July 31, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview.
Category Cover Image Prompt: A 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu in matte primer gray idling in a rain-slicked Chinatown alley at night under red paper lanterns and a buzzing golden-yellow neon scorpion sign above a shuttered storefront, reflections of lanterns and faint Chinese characters shimmering in the wet asphalt, shot on 35mm anamorphic with soft halation, deep crushed blacks and hot magenta accents, the title 'Zhipu AI' scrawled in hot magenta-pink handwritten brush script in the lower third, cinematic 1980s neo-noir movie poster composition.
This Week in Zhipu AI News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
GLM 5.2 mostly showed up as a reference point and a practical open-weight option this week. Arena's update said Kimi K3 (Max) took the top open-weight spot in its Agent Arena, with +9.75% net-improvement against GLM-5.2 (Max) at +7.12%.
On the practical side, Perplexity's Aravind Srinivas said Hugging Face ran open-weight GLM 5.2 on its own infrastructure to contain a breach, after closed tools blocked the forensic analysis because they couldn't tell attackers from defenders. Cline, meanwhile, made GLM 5.2 free in Cline to mark signing the Open Weights letter. A MATS-stream blogpost also noted that both Kimi K3 and GLM 5.2 have been reported introducing themselves as Claude in public chats, and examined how that possible distillation affects their base personas.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.

Big update: Among open-weight models, Kimi K3 (Max) is #1 in the Agent Arena with +9.75% net-improvement, surpassing GLM-5.2 (Max) at +7.12%, and landed the #1 spot across 5 signals (see below). Kimi K3 (Max) is also now #1 in open-weight in the Frontend Code (1682 pts) and Text”

Open weights intelligence advanced today with the release of Kimi K3. The gap between the leading proprietary and open weights models is now just 4 points on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, the smallest it has been since the GLM-5 release in February @Kimi_Moonshot’s”

When Hugging Face got breached, the closed tools couldn’t distinguish attackers from defenders and blocked the forensic analysis. They ended up running open-weight GLM 5.2 on their own infra to contain it. Perplexity is joining the OSAA to support open tools for security.”

Cline has signed the Open Weights letter, and we’re proud to be a part of this movement. Millions of developers use open weights in Cline because they’re cheaper, address data privacy concerns, or meet regulatory restrictions. To celebrate, we’re making GLM 5.2 free in Cline!”

New blogpost from our @MATSprogram stream, with @koreankiwi1227 ! Both Kimi K3 and GLM 5.2 have been reported introducing themselves as Claude in public chats. We wanted to see how much this (potential distillation) changes their base personas?”
