Below: the paragraph from the book that builds this idea, then the diagram itself, and a recap. About a minute of reading.
This matters for reading dated material correctly. An older tutorial, forum post, or paper that talks about "ChatGLM" is very likely describing the earlier open assistant lineage, not the current GLM-5.x family this book covers. Knowing the difference tells you, at a glance, roughly how old the information in front of you is.
Recap
- The idea:
- The picture: The diagram above, from chapter 1 ("The Name Game: Zhipu, Z.ai, GLM, and ChatGLM Untangled") of GLM Made Crystal Clear.
- Go deeper: the chapter builds this step by step, with recipes and sources at the end.
This diagram is one of many in GLM Made Crystal Clear.
Every chapter opens with the gist, draws the hard ideas, and ends with recipes and sources.
