Rumor: GLM 5.3 Flash Derived from Distillation and RL
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-22
Speculation suggests that the model referred to as GLM 5.3 Flash is derived from version 5.3 via distillation with added reinforcement learning, similar to Inkling-Small and Luna. This process allows the smaller model to retain most of the capabilities. It is also speculated that the compute is bankrolled with overseas GPUs.
