GLM optimises its own serving infrastructure

What's this about?

Z.ai reports roughly 3× serving-throughput gains in under two weeks on a 100,000-plus domestic-accelerator cluster; a GLM-powered Infra Agent did much of the work, with human goals, feedback design and high-risk review.

What exactly is dense feedback?

Local, cheap and objectively checkable tests tell an agent why a change helped or regressed. This is more useful than one slow, opaque end-to-end score, and does not establish autonomous successor training.
