Big week for models. GLM-5 is about to drop, Meta leaked a new codename, and the local model community is finding gems.

GLM-5 Launch Imminent — 745B MoE spotted in vLLM & Transformers PRs

Zhipu AI's next-gen model GLM-5 is about to drop. Multiple pull requests adding GLM-5 support spotted in both vllm and HuggingFace transformers. Architecture: 745B total parameters with 44B active (MoE), trained on 100K Huawei Ascend chips.

Reports suggest "Pony Alpha" on OpenRouter is already a stealth deployment. Expected open-weight release under MIT license — making it one of the largest open-source models available.

Update: GPT-5.3 wider release coming this week Following the Feb 5 Codex launch, community reports point to the wider GPT-5.3 release dropping this week. The model that "helped build itself" — first classified "High capability" for cybersecurity under OpenAI's Preparedness Framework.
Meta's "Avocado" LLM surpasses top open-source models in pretraining alone Meta's next-gen LLM codenamed "Avocado" reportedly beats leading open-source models on benchmarks using pretraining alone, before any fine-tuning. Likely closed-source, signaling a shift from the Llama era.
GeoSpy AI pinpoints your exact location from social media photos Viral demo shows AI analyzing photo pixels — no EXIF metadata needed — to determine precise location. SuperBolt system claims 1-meter accuracy using deep learning on millions of geotagged images. Serious privacy implications.
Qwen3-Coder-Next is secretly the best general-purpose local model Follow-up: Despite the "Coder" name, users report it excels at general tasks — emails, life advice, creative writing. "Since the original Llama was leaked, I've been using LLMs locally, but they always felt lacking... until now."

Quick hits — new models and architectures.

LLaDA2.1-flash — 103B diffusion language model Novel diffusion-based (not autoregressive) text model. 103B flash and 16B mini variants with editing enhancement.
Step-3.5-Flash — "rivals DeepSeek V3.2 at 1/3 the size" StepFun AI's new model praised by the community. Free on OpenRouter, already supported in llama.cpp.
