Strong release! GLM-5.1 is a DeepSeek-V3.2-like architecture (including MLA and DeepSeek Sparse Attention) but with more layers. And the benchmarks look better throughout! Looks like THE flagship open-weight model now.

Coding Agents: Markdown Skills and Registry Extensions

Good suggestion. A coding agent can already read markdown files from the main repo, but you could add an explicit skills extension with a dedicated folder and registry.

Learning Path: LLM Architecture, Reasoning Models, and Production Systems
By
–
I would probably start with 1. my Build A Large Language Model (From Scratch) book to understand the basic architecture and basic pipeline. Then maybe 2. Build A Reasoning Model (From Scratch) for inference scaling and reinforcement learning
3. Maybe one of the "production" -

Per-layer embeddings likely unused in final model implementation
By
–
I saw the per-layer embeddings in the code, but I don't think they were used in the final models. Maybe it was a left-over from some internal experiments.

Ollama Performance Comparable to Custom Compiled Alternatives
By
–
Actually I don't mind ollama (they'll probably have gemma 4 in a few days because the architecture is so similar to gemma 3 that it should be an easy port). I know I should consider other options, but somehow the performance is the same or better compared to custom compiled
