Subject: [PATCH] docs: the README is about four model families, not one
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The header still opened with "Explore GLM-5.2 (744B-parameter MoE)" while the
repo description had already moved to "Run frontier MoE models". Inkling (975B)
and Kimi K3 (2.8T) shipped in v1.3.0 and the roster table listing all four
families sits at line 337 — so a reader met "GLM-5.2" at line 16 and only
discovered the other three engines 300 lines later.
Header now states the range rather than one model, and announces the roster up
front with a link down to the table. A range does not go stale the next time
someone ships a larger model; naming a single model does.
The blockquote said "experimental inference engine and research platform" and
then "not a production runtime with an SLA", which reads as a contradiction
next to a usable engine that four model families run on. It is both things at
once, and the reconciliation is a distinction rather than a hedge: no SLA on
speed, a hard guarantee on semantics. That second half was already the last
sentence of the paragraph — insufficient fast memory may reduce speed, it must
not quietly redefine the model — it just was not where a reader would see it.
Not touched, deliberately: every screenshot caption (744B at 4 tok/s, 19,456
experts, 13,260 characterised experts) describes a real run, and GLM-5.2 stays
the worked example under "the core idea" because it is the model with the most
measured data behind it. Reference model, not only model.
Also fixes the sample banner, which claimed v1.1.0 across all four files.
