Ep 804: Open Source Surge? Does GLM-5.2 Make Open Source an Enterprise Priority? (Start Here Series Vol 29)

Is the open model GLM-5.2 really Opus 4.8 level? 🤯

You mighta missed this, but over the past few weeks, three distinct forces have all converged at one:

↳ Chinese open models are near frontier SOTA
↳ Microsoft is reportedly considering open models to run Copilot
↳ Enterprises everywhere are talking token efficiency as AI costs soar

So while many are watching GLM-5.2 as an isolated model, it's important we dive deeper on its wider implications.
