Zhipu AI Open-Sources GLM-4.7: The New King of Open-Source Models Claims Global Coding Throne with SOTA Reasoning and Agentic Execution
On December 22, 2025, Zhipu AI unleashed GLM-4.7 — its latest flagship open-source model that storms to the top of global open-source leaderboards. Packing revolutionary "Preserved Thinking" for multi-turn consistency, interleaved reasoning modes, and massive leaps in coding + tool use, it hits open-source SOTA on LiveCodeBench (84.9%), τ²-Bench (87.4%), and HLE (42.8%) — outperforming Claude Sonnet 4.5 in key agentic tasks while crushing long-context stability. Fully open-weights on Hugging Face, GLM-4.7 accelerates enterprise deployment, scientific research, and content pipelines at a fraction of proprietary costs.
Anthropic Unleashes Claude Opus 4.5: The Coding Colossus That Reclaims SOTA Crown, Powers Agents, and Crushes Costs by 66%
Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4.5 on November 24, 2025 — its frontier flagship that's now the undisputed king of coding, agentic workflows, and computer use. Blending enhanced memory for endless chats, a tunable "effort" slider for 21% smarter reasoning at 66% lower costs, and integrations like Claude for Chrome/Excel, it smashes benchmarks: 80.9% on SWE-Bench Verified (first over 80%), 15% leap on Terminal Bench, and SOTA on GPQA Diamond and ARC-AGI 2. Available now via API and apps for Pro/Max/Team users, this beast outpaces GPT-5.1 and Gemini 3 Pro while slashing token bills — a paradigm-shifting efficiency bomb in the AI arms race.
