I’m not sure it speaks so poorly on the company. I’m not sure whether they’re using GLM 5.3 or 5.3 flash. The former is twice the price (probably better results?) and the latter is a quarter the price.

If they don’t end up switching models by the end of the year, I think that says a lot about the models. If they’re just waiting for an appropriately large or small model, or waiting to get large 4 put through its paces before switching, I think that’s a pretty ego-less way to go about it, and could speak pretty highly in a way.

Mistral large 3/medium 3.5/small 4 have all been pretty dated for a while so if they just needed a stopgap, I could understand. Now that large 4 is out though, we will see if that was the case.
