I don’t know where you draw the line between proprietary megacorp and not, but Z.ai is planning to IPO soon as a multi billion dollar company. If you think they don’t want to be a multi billion dollar megacorp like all of the other LLM companies I think that’s a little short sighted. These models are open weight, but I wouldn’t count them as OSS.

Also Chinese companies aren’t the only companies releasing open weight models. ChatGPT has released open weight models, too.

I was with you until here. The scraps OpenAI has released don't really compare to the GLM models or DeepSeek models (or others) in both cadence and quality (IMHO).
