Zhipu AI outlined its roadmap for the GLM series in a 2026 interim briefing, naming Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) as the next step after GLM-5.3.
Key Details:
- GLM-6.0: Will be trained by its predecessor (GLM-5.3) using full RSI.
- GLM-5.3 Status: Reused the 5.2 base but scaled up on post-training environments; an Infra Agent powered by 5.3 is already optimizing domestic-chip inference.
- Future Training: Scaling massively on data environments as web data is tapped out.
- Financials: Reached $2B in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
