Let's just commit that FOSS business is really difficult for LLM industry that depends so heavily on massive financing. Making weights freely available to indie devs, small companies, and research purposes is good enough and might be the most ethical move which is financially continuable.

Let those companies with thousands of GPU making millions pay. They should.

"GLM-5.3 is the most capable open-weights model for coding, with a 50% improvement over GLM-5.2 on our in-house Z.ai Code Bench. It also achieve open-source SOTA on public benchmarks including Terminal Bench 3.0 and Agents' Last Exam."

"Open Source: We will release the weights in two weeks after launch, once safety evaluation and hardening are complete."

> The model weights of GLM-5.3 will be publicly available soon in two weeks.

> No Hugging Face link yet. I wish they would release it under a true FOSS license.

GLM model weights have been released under MIT in the past, and there's no indication that this might change this time around.
