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 August 7, 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 weathered stone lantern sits at the edge of a mirror-still mountain pond scattered with dark lotus pads, its carved panels catching only faint silver starlight, with mist curling over the water and distant pine-covered peaks silhouetted against a deep indigo sky dense with stars, painted in fine-art nocturne tonalism with generous negative space in the upper sky for a bold title. Low horizon, perfect reflections, muted slate and moss greens, a single faint warm glow on the far horizon, contemplative and hushed.
This Week in Zhipu AI News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
GLM-5.3 looks imminent. Several posts say it is coming soon, and the Arena account said to stay tuned for it to hit the Arena. Meanwhile GLM-5.2 is already a reference point: Arena placed GLM-5.2 (Max) second overall and first among open models in its Frontend Code Arena, and Epoch AI rated DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 as comparable to it.
GLM-5.2 is also getting easier to run and measure. Baseten became an official inference provider on Hugging Face, where GLM-5.2 can be run straight from the model page. Artificial Analysis started its new Endpoint Accuracy Index, which checks how much of an open weights model's accuracy each API endpoint preserves, with GLM-5.2 among the first models covered.
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.

We’ve been asked why Cline works better with open weights models like DeepSeek than other harnesses and want to share some detail (more in our blog below). Our internal evals show that many open weights models like DeepSeek, GLM, and Kimi are RL trained to spend more tokens”

Baseten is now an official inference provider on @huggingface 🤗 Run Kimi K3, DeepSeek V4 Flash, and GLM-5.2 on Baseten straight from any model page, or with just your HF token in your favorite harness. Get started here:

GLM-5.3 appears to be coming very soon. It’s time for OpenAI, and especially Anthropic, to step up their game and solidify their lead. China has recently made incredible strides with Kimi k3, Qwen 3.8, DeepSeek 4 Flash (fantastic!), and Minimax h3. The gap is shrinking. The US”

On SWE-bench it scored 87.3%, ahead of GPT-5.5 (82.6%) and GLM-5.2 (83.3%) and just behind Claude Opus 4.8 (89.2%). On Terminal-Bench 2.1 it scored 67.4, up from 61.0 for 3.7 Max. Note: Alibaba’s reported results modify the Terminal Bench 2.1 timeouts, whereas our results”

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 debuts with an ECI of 153, comparable to GLM 5.2 and roughly midway between Opus 4.5 and Opus 4.6. It’s the second strongest open-weights model available today, behind only Kimi K3.”
