Checked outside Google
A rise on Google alone can be a change in how Google counts. These rose with it, each against what every other search on the same source did:
- Hacker News mentions (glm): 244 → 4,568 out of 100 (weekly average), +1772% on the year against a library median of +15%
- Bluesky posts (glm): 45 → 253 out of 100 (weekly average), +462% on the year against a library median of +21%
- Bing searches rose too, by more than they did for the typical search we track there (their licence lets us name the source, not quote its numbers).
- research papers (OpenAlex): 2,296 → 3,233 papers a year, +41% on the year against a library median of +31%
About this search
GLM is an ambiguous abbreviation; in this library it refers mainly to the GLM family of large language models from Zhipu AI, now Z.ai, a Chinese lab whose open-weight models compete with DeepSeek and Qwen for coding and agent tasks. GLM also means a generalised linear model in statistics, and names companies and products. In practice, the AI meaning draws developers looking for cheap, capable models and coding plans. New releases lift interest. Strong open models lower costs for products built on them, though the models themselves are commodity inputs.
