TheInformation reports Nvidia is acquiring Hugging Face for $13B, roughly 80x ARR. Meanwhile, Z.ai launched GLM-5.3-Flash (formerly Ox Alpha), a native multimodal model with 1M-token context, 320B total/18B active params, under MIT license. The architecture features Kimi Linear-style hybrid attention, KDA layers, and DeepSeek V4-style residual paths. Independent evals rate it at 57 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, offering significantly lower cost than GPT-5.6 Terra and strong performance on agentic tasks like Terminal-Bench, though with lower knowledge accuracy.
