Released at the exact same time, 5:21 pm (Chinese time), as when Anthropic received the letter from the government banning Fable, and explicitly citing other models becoming unusable.

... really? are you sure about the timezones? That's kind of odd, isn't it?

Maybe the post was edited afterwards?

It's not odd, they explicitly reference the time and the closing of Fable. See the submitted post now as the link has changed to the founder's announcement.

correlation does not imply causation…

z.ai posted an announcement earlier that day (in GMT+8) saying that they will make GLM-5.2 available later today at 5:21pm so it can't be a coincidence.

Good troll.

Could it just be that they wanted to release 5.2 at 5:20 ish???? Why does it have to be a troll??

Edit: spelling

It’s just Occam’s razor since it specifically references “ Today, the sudden restriction of certain frontier models is deeply regrettable.” in the tweet.

it was a reaction, hence the shoddy release work...

5:21 comes twice a day, so they could have got it all ready if they wanted to. But I guess a lot can happen in 12 hours, and it could be a missed opportunity if Fable were re-released in that time.

so it's not "exact same time"
