IBM Granite 4.2, Apodex 1.1 and GLM-5.3 expand open-weight options for self-hosted agentic and enterprise workloads.
Z.ai uses the same base model as GLM-5.2 for GLM-5.3, but all gains come from post-training. Coding improves by 50% on the internal Code Bench and reaches state of the art on Terminal Bench 3.0 and Agents' Last Exam. The real shift is the emergent cy...
The Apodex team's AMA on r/LocalLLaMA introduces Apodex 1.1, an open model family for agentic work, plus an open-source harness and two papers. Quantized variants in FP8, GPTQ-Int4, and NVFP4 point to local, self-hosted inference, but no benchmark fi...
The Apodex team has presented Apodex 1.1, an open model family designed for complex work involving reasoning, search, code execution, and multi-agent coordination. Alongside the models, the team released FrontierAgent and two papers. The NVFP4, GPTQ-...
The Hugging Face page for zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash signals a new model, but no technical details. For self-hosted deployments, the Flash label suggests inference efficiency while missing VRAM, quantization, and token details complicate planning. We anal...
IBM has released Granite 4.2, three open-weight LLMs with 3, 8 and 30 billion parameters designed for download and self-hosting. All provide a native 128,000-token context window. The 8B and 30B variants add an agentic reinforcement learning block fo...
