Z.ai Releases GLM-5.3-Flash: A 320B-A18B Natively Multimodal MoE With a 1M-Token Context

MarkTechPost 1 month ago 5 ● 2 sources

Z.ai released GLM-5.3-Flash, its first natively multimodal GLM model, featuring a 320B MoE with 18B active parameters per token and a 1,048,576-token context. The model is priced at $0.15 per 1M input tokens and $0.50 per 1M output tokens, and Z.ai says it runs on domestically produced Chinese AI chips during its early “Ox Alpha” testing. This shifts deployment toward API-based usage for most orgs, with self-hosting requiring large hardware (about 306 GiB FP8 weights) while competitors and teams get a lower-cost option for coding and multimodal document/UI workflows.

IBM Releases Granite 4.2: Bringing Native Reasoning and Agentic RL to Open Enterprise Models

MarkTechPost 1 month ago 13 ● 5 sources

IBM released Granite 4.2, an open family of reasoning language models that can switch between thinking, non-thinking, and low-effort modes. The models were pre-trained from scratch on roughly 15 trillion tokens and come in 3B, 8B, and 30B parameter sizes. The 8B and 30B are additionally trained with agentic reinforcement learning for code editing, terminal control, and web searches in sandboxed environments, while all models ship under Apache 2.0.
