Open labs embrace continued post-training: GLM 5.3, Qwen3.8 27B show generational leaps without new base models

A Reddit user observes that open labs are adopting continued post-training instead of releasing entirely new models each generation. Examples like GLM 5.3, Qwen3.8 27B, and Deepseek V4 Flash 0731 show generational performance gains from post-training existing models. This benefits the local community as inference engines can keep up. Closed labs like Anthropic and OpenAI have been doing this for a while.
