What commenters say

  • Some commenters are interested in trying out the model, but are unsure about cloud vendors that offer it.
  • The model's performance is compared to other models, such as GPT-20b and GPT-120b, with some commenters finding it to be marginally better.
  • There are concerns about the cost and usability of the model, particularly with regards to rate limiting and caching.
  • Some commenters have found alternative models, such as Kimi K2 and Mistral Large 3, to be comparable in quality to GLM-4.7.
  • The use of distillation to train open models is seen as a limitation, with some commenters arguing that it will always lag behind SOTA models.
  • The pay-per-use API model is criticized for its limitations and costs, with some commenters preferring alternative subscription-based models.
  • There are discussions about the potential for breakthroughs in open model labs and the role of middleman chat services in training models.
