Z.ai launched GLM-5.3, a coding- and cyber-focused model with significant gains on agentic and security benchmarks, achieved through scaled post-training rather than a larger base model. Alibaba released Qwen3.8-27B, a native multimodal dense model under Apache 2.0 with a 262K native context extendable to 1M, designed for real-world coding and office workflows, with broad inference support from multiple platforms. DeepSeek V4-Pro and RedNote's dots3-note, a 280B multimodal MoE model with 16B active parameters and 512K context, continue the China open-model wave, introducing new RL methods like TEMPO for long-horizon self-evaluation. The ecosystem features multiple Chinese labs specializing in open models with different strengths. DeepSeek's harness is highlighted as a modular agent runtime infrastructure with replaceable components and lifecycle management via Cordis.

Alibaba released Qwen3.5-397B-A17B, an open-weight model featuring native multimodality, spatial intelligence, and a hybrid linear attention + sparse MoE architecture supporting 201 languages and long context windows up to 256K tokens. The model shows improvements over previous versions like Qwen3-Max and Qwen3-VL, with a sparsity ratio of about 4.3%. Community discussions highlighted the Gated Delta Networks enabling efficient inference despite large model size (~800GB BF16), with successful local runs on Apple Silicon using quantization techniques. The hosted API version, Qwen3.5-Plus, supports 1M context and integrates search and code interpreter features. This release follows other Chinese labs like Z.ai, Minimax, and Kimi in refreshing large models. The model is licensed under Apache-2.0 and is expected to be the last major release before DeepSeek v4. The news also notes Pete Steinberger joining OpenAI.
