Zhipu AI has launched its flagship GLM-5 model, marking a pivotal moment in China's semiconductor self-sufficiency. The 744B parameter model was trained on 28.5 trillion tokens using entirely domestic hardware, including Huawei Ascend chips. With a 200K context window and performance rivaling Claude Opus 4.5, it proves that software-hardware co-optimization can overcome U.S. export curbs. This shift signals an era where frontier AI is no longer tethered to Western silicon. ππ¨π³
