Speculation: Lab uses GLM distillation for new coding agent model
andrewarruda · x · 2026-08-25
A user speculated that a US lab might have used a classic black/white box distillation pipeline: downloading open GLM weights or querying the API extensively to distill a smaller, faster student model. This distilled model would mimic the original's coding and agent capabilities, reuse the tokenizer, and be deployed on OpenRouter.
