GLM 5.3: Powerful AI Is Becoming Almost Free
GLM 5.3 Flash delivers near-frontier AI performance for free via open weights.
“I think within this year, in a few months, Fable might be surpassed by free AI systems.”
GLM 5.3 Flash is a free, open-weight model using linear attention and a compressed context mechanism called 'index pool' to approach frontier-level benchmark performance at dramatically lower compute cost. It stealthily launched under a different name and quickly surpassed DeepSeek in usage. The host argues that within months, free open models could match or exceed current top closed models, signaling accelerating commoditization of frontier AI capability.
