Shanghai AI Laboratory's open-weight agentic MoE (744B total, MIT license, 256K context), built on a GLM-5.2 base and trained by the cross-institutional ATRIA initiative (with Fudan NLP Lab) for long-horizon research and engineering workflows: problem analysis, tool use, code, experiments, and failure recovery. Benchmark scores are from the model's own technical report and have not yet been independently verified by a third-party evaluator.
