GLM-5.5 reportedly targeting August — possibly >1T parameters
Zhipu's next flagship is expected in August, per CGTN's GLM-5.2 launch coverage, and a JPMorgan note says it could exceed 1T parameters. GLM-5.2 is 753B.
Expect the same open-weight, long-running-coding-agent focus that made GLM-5.2 a breakout. That focus is the reason this release matters more than its parameter count: GLM-5.2 earned its position by being the model teams actually pointed at multi-hour agent runs, not by winning a chat benchmark.
