Why it moved the index

The dated first-party release identifies the exact GLM-5.2 version, public weights, MIT terms, million-token context, and long-horizon agent evaluations. Open local deployment reduces provider control and accelerates diffusion of persistent coding and tool-use capability, though benchmark claims do not prove unrestricted real-world autonomy.
