A user says he just wants GLM-5.5, but Z.ai has been disappointingly quiet. An accompanying teaser image suggests GLM-5.5 may come in 256B, 122B, and 32B variants. He floats two unverified theories: Z.ai may be reluctant to release such a powerful model over cybersecurity implications, or it has the model but not enough compute to deploy it for millions of users.
