You can't compare models released 6+ months apart. GLM 5.2 was same architecture as 5.3 and not nearly as good. Takes time to build frontier intelligence and distill down to smaller sizes.

It's not that GLM5.3 in full precision unquantized is any smaller, it's 141 * 5.4GB files at approx 770GB which is about the same size as 5.2.

  • Hold on.. the routed experts are in FP8 now? Previously they were in BF16. Nice, this shall cut my download time by half!

    • This time they just made FP8 "default", accompanied by "-BF16" model/page (previously "-FP8" was released alongside).
