There have been multiple posts on here with 800+ upvotes in just the last few weeks for GLM 5.2.

The idea that all this enthusiasm is for certain Silicon Valley billionaires and not from genuine interest in AI technology is a baffling take.

To be clear, I am not agreeing that people only upvote their favorite billionaires, just that if this particular thing was done by a Chinese model it would not have gotten the same attention

Well, you would be wrong.

Interesting point I guess, much to consider
Consider actually searching for GLM or other top Chinese models and see how many upvotes they have been getting.

Your claim that Chinese models don’t get as much attention is easily proven false.

Im using silicon valley collequially to represent "tech", not as a google maps pin.
So what billionaire are people rooting for when a new GLM comes out?

How many people do you honestly think even know who owns or leads Z.ai?

I certainly don’t.
