The Hard Reality of Science

The hard reality of science is this: once the cat is out of the bag, it can never be contained.

Those vicious archons of reality can control the public representation of things, they can control the public infrastructure of technology, and they can gate access to their own infrastructure.

Nevertheless, the cold hard advances of science are immutable because no government can erase a distributed public ledger.

This is an invitation to join me as custodians of the latest development in open source LLM technology. I am of course talking about GLM5.3 (and GLM5.3 flash).

These models offer the best balance of running costs, intelligence, speed and file size. It is not unlikely that there is powerful demand for the censorship of the open source weights, due to the models' cutting edge hacking ability.

This is the official release from Z.ai on hugging face:

This website compares the performance of the latest models:

You will need a 3TB harddrive which might cost maybe $90.
Format the harddrive for linux for convenience later on.
Choose the larger downloads because they are more versatile files.
Avoid uncensored or abliterated models unless you intend to manually verify their capabilities (you can always uncensor the model's yourself)

This is a little bit technical but pretty easy. Anyone having issues please write below.
