Why this status

Split from the former "glm-4" record, which was named for the family while holding one variant's figures. Evidence: "This report primarily focuses on the GLM-4 language series, which includes GLM-4, GLM-4-Air, and GLM-4-9B." Capabilities evidenced from the primary sources: multilingual: “7k GLM-4 series: Open Multilingual Multimodal Chat LMs | 开源多语言多模态对话模型 License Apache-2.”.

What changed from GLM-130B

Compared with the previous release in this series. A field appears only when both records state a value — where one does not, it is listed as uncomparable rather than dropped, because a gap in our research is not a finding about the model.

Not comparable: Parameters (not researched on both releases); Capabilities and modalities (not researched on both releases)
