I was wrong
I've been saying for months that open source AI models are 6 months behind frontier
They caught up. GLM 5.2 is as good as Opus 4.8

Within the next few years this will 100% be able to run on widely available consumer hardware. I'd bet ANYTHING on it
The fact that a model who's weights you can download right now is just as good as Opus 4.8 is a feat in its own
