daveyoungon Z.ai confirms Ox Alpha is a new GLM-series model and will release its weights

do you have reference to where it was said?

likely a distilled glm 5.3 that will punch within 20% of that at 2-3x less size. you'll find that capability is typically very jagged on models that are distilled

Two potentials from my pov:

1. Just variance in pass@K. If you prompt any model multiple times you'll see a large variance. N=1, but I find chinese open source models have a higher variance than higher-RL'd models like fable/opus.

2. They legitimately shipped a new RL checkpoint over the 7 days, which I find hard to believe.

I am leaning towards 1.
