i highly doubt that GLM-5.2 was benchmaxxed on PostTrainBench or heavily distilled from Claude models. anyone can inspect the traces (
- the reasoning patterns overall look very reasonable. GLM-5.2 genuinely tries many very sensible approaches (see the screenshot below for everything it tried during a single post-training run on AIME!).
- they are very diverse across different seeds, no mode collapse on a single post-training technique.
- they are very different from Claude models.
- see the thread below for more details.
TL;DR: don't blindly trust benchmark *scores*. look at the traces and draw your own conclusions!
