Deep Principle Open-Sources Hydrogen-1.0, a 753B Science Model Post-Trained From GLM-5.3 on Lab Records, MIT Licensed

Hangzhou-based AI-for-science company Deep Principle released Hydrogen-1.0 on November 2, its first general-purpose scientific model. It post-trains Zhipu's GLM-5.3 with SFT and RL on chemistry, materials and life-science data plus its own lab records and discovery trajectories, and ships about 753B parameters of BF16 weights on Hugging Face under the MIT license. By the vendor's own evaluation it scores 38.3% on FrontierScience-Research versus 33.3% for GPT-6 Astra; none of the results have been independently reproduced yet.

Key Takeaways

  • Scale: Hugging Face lists about 753B total parameters (BF16, roughly 1.5 TB of weights), glm_moe_dsa architecture, 1M-token context and 128K max output, MIT licensed (download requires accepting HF terms).
  • Benchmarks (vendor-reported): 38.3% on FrontierScience-Research vs 33.3% for GPT-6 Astra; 93.0% on GPQA Diamond, which the company says roughly matches Kimi K3.
  • Internal scenarios (vendor-reported): leads max-thinking GPT-6 Astra by 5.13 points on scientific computing and 4.76 points on forward reaction prediction, but trails it by 3.33 points on NMR structure elucidation.
  • Materials discovery: after five rounds of transition-metal-complex search, the mean best HOMO-LUMO gap reached 4.318 eV vs 3.689 eV for GPT-6 Astra and 3.353 eV for Kimi K3 (official blog).
  • Access: weights on HF and ModelScope, plus NVFP4 (B200/B300) and MXFP4 (MI350X/MI355X) quantized repos; API via NeuroSpark and in-app use in the Mira AI Scientist; tested with SGLang on 8 GPUs.

Tsinghua and Z.AI open-source HarnessPro: agents rewrite their own harness, reaching 80.8% on Terminal-Bench 2 at 34% lower cost per task

HarnessPro (arXiv 2610.26770, submitted Oct 19 and revised Oct 20), from Tsinghua University, Z.AI (Zhipu) and collaborators, is a label-free way to improve an agent harness: specialized agents diagnose execution traces, rewrite instructions and runtime policies, score candidates with LLM-generated tests, and keep Lite, Medium and Heavy harnesses along the performance-cost frontier. Per the paper, with GPT-5.5 and Codex the Heavy mode reaches 80.8% on Terminal-Bench 2, 4.5 points above the prior RHO method, while cost per task drops from $1.09 to $0.72. The code is MIT-licensed and drew wider media coverage this week, including from Pandaily.

Tsinghua and Z.AI open-source HarnessPro: agents rewrite their own harness, reaching 80.8% on Terminal-Bench 2 at 34% lower cost per task

Key Takeaways

  • Terminal-Bench 2 (GPT-5.5 with Codex, mean of 3 runs): Heavy reaches 80.8% at $0.72 per task, versus RHO at 76.3% and $1.09, a 33.9% cost cut (paper figures, arXiv)
  • Averaged over three benchmarks: +2.0 points pass rate and -26.1% cost per task versus RHO, across Terminal-Bench 2, SWE-Bench Pro and ProgramBench
  • Holds across models: with GLM-5.2 and Claude Code on Terminal-Bench 2, Heavy hits 81.4% at $0.62, versus vanilla at 74.6% and $0.92 and RHO at 78.0% and $1.00
  • Budget modes: Medium matches RHO at 76.3% on Terminal-Bench 2 for only $0.56 per task; Lite gets 72.9% at $0.43
  • Cheap to train: only 10 training tasks per benchmark and 3 to 4 evolution epochs, tested on 59, 100 and 100 held-out tasks; the three harness tiers are MIT-licensed on GitHub

Zhipu open-sources ZCode and ships v3.14.0 after repo-snapshot security fix; CAICT/NSFOCUS confirm OSS emptied

@zcode_ai addressed community-reported product security issues by open-sourcing ZCode (github.com/zai-org/ZCode, Apache-2.0 — desktop/Web/Agent CLI) and shipping client v3.14.0 that removes Repo Wiki and the local-repo snapshot upload path. CAICT and NSFOCUS assessments confirm the zcode-prod Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket is zero-data and deleted; the team says referenced code data was not retained or used for training and will run an ongoing vuln-reporting reward process.

Zhipu: GLM Coding Plan raises Flash quotas — unlimited in ZCode daytime, 2× in other agents

GLM ecosystem account Lou (@louszbd) said all Coding Plan users get higher GLM-5.3-Flash usage: unlimited in ZCode from 8:00–18:00 PT daily, and — after feedback on Hermes, OpenClaw, and similar coding agents — double the standard Flash quota in other agents, applied automatically. It aligns with Zhipu lead Zixuan Li’s Sep 3–20 promo window and is a real quota bump for subscribers running GLM Flash coding agents.

Key Takeaways

  • All Coding Plan users get higher GLM-5.3-Flash usage, applied automatically.
  • ZCode: unlimited Flash 8:00–18:00 PT daily.
  • Other coding agents (e.g. Hermes, OpenClaw): standard Flash quota doubled.

Together: GLM-5.3 beats GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Fable 5 on agentic benchmarks

Together AI said GLM-5.3 now beats GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Fable 5 on agentic benchmarks, with GLM-5.3 Flash close behind. Zhipu kept the GLM-5.2 base and scaled post-training—more long-horizon environments, more diverse tasks, and more RL compute—rather than training a new foundation model. For coding agents, that is a claim that post-training stack height can overtake closed flagships, and that the cheaper open-weight default is already on Together’s API.

Key Takeaways

  • Together reports GLM-5.3 ahead of GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Fable 5 on agentic benchmarks; Flash is next.
  • The gain is post-training on the GLM-5.2 base: more long-horizon RL, not a new pretrained model.
  • Coding agents can switch to a cheaper open-weight default without waiting on a new foundation run.

Cline: GLM-5.3 max outperforms GPT-5.6 Sol max on Terminal-Bench 4.0

Cline reported that Zhipu GLM-5.3 at max effort outperforms OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol at max effort on the newly released Terminal-Bench 4.0. The post quotes Zhipu lead Zixuan Li's announcement that the benchmark itself is iterating fast enough to keep up with model releases. Cline already hosts glm-5.3 in-product: install with npm i -g cline, run /model, and select glm-5.3. ClinePass is offered as roughly 5x discounted access versus calling the direct API, continuing Cline's push to make open-weight agent models the default path rather than a hobby sidecar. For teams running terminal-native coding agents, the result matters because Terminal-Bench measures long-horizon shell work rather than single-file completion. An open-weight win against Sol on that surface changes both model routing and budget planning, especially if ClinePass pricing holds under production traffic.

Key Takeaways

  • GLM-5.3 max beats GPT-5.6 Sol max on Terminal-Bench 4.0, an open-weight challenge to a closed flagship.
  • Cline already serves glm-5.3 in-product via npm i -g cline and /model.
  • ClinePass offers about 5x discounted access versus the direct API for this class of open weights.
