Zhipu chief scientist reveals GLM-5.5 training pipeline: 3 sizes, 6 internal data engines

AccBalanced · x · 2026-11-06

Jie Tang revealed GLM-5.5's training pipeline (32B/122B/256B) in a Tsinghua lecture. Instead of public datasets, pretraining draws from six internal engines: 1T web pages crawled at 10B pages/day with PB-scale template clustering, 2B scientific PDFs parsed via GLM-OCR (4x faster with speculative decoding), 50M books with layout reordering and garbled-text filtering, 500M repos converted into executable tasks with real tests, and 10B videos for long-sequence training. Shared via a tongue-in-cheek Primeagen quote about data scraping.
