Zhipu has released an update to their main series of models. This release is notable because many people say that it's basically a Sonnet (or a Haiku) 4.5 at home, although it falls off (harder) at longer context than closed models. Still, a high praise and a continuation of the theme that Chinese open models improve at an astonishing rate, being close to the best closed models.

Relative Adoption Metric contextualizes downloads against the model's size bucket.
OpenRouter publishes daily token totals for its ~50 most-served models. Days missing from the chart mean GLM-4.6 fell below that cutoff — not zero usage. OpenRouter logs usage separately per dated model version and per variant (like ":free"); the hub combines provider variants while keeping separately cataloged releases distinct.
