This is a sane version of what “sovereign” AI can look like for many. In Canada we’ve just had this national plan to overpay for an inferior AI product in the name of sovereignty. Even if GLM is slightly behind, this is likely close to the Pareto frontier.

They also could consider putting this on openrouter when they have spare capacity to make the most effective use of the hardware.

GLM 5.3 is far ahead of anything Cohere has ever released, and it's relatively easy to host.
