Revolut Swaps Claude Code for Chinese GLM, Cuts Coding Costs 90%
Revolut has moved roughly 2,000 engineers from Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex to a self-hosted instance of GLM 5.3, an open-weight model from Beijing-based Z.ai, cutting AI-assisted coding costs by approximately 90%. David Abitbol, who leads AI operations and infrastructure at Revolut, shared the migration story at the AI Engineer conference in New York, detailing how the fintech tuned the model from a "terrible" out-of-box experience of 14-second latency down to 1.6 seconds. The move underscores a growing trend: well-funded engineering organizations are betting on self-hosted open-weight models over per-seat SaaS subscriptions for AI coding tools.

Anthropic Presses Ahead With Pre-Thanksgiving IPO at Lower Valuation
Anthropic is pushing ahead with its Nasdaq IPO before Thanksgiving despite a brutal tech selloff that has slashed expectations from $2 trillion to as low as $1.1 trillion. The Claude developer aims to raise $80-100 billion at a $1.25-1.75 trillion valuation, riding $81 billion in annualized revenue. But voter backlash against AI data centers and jittery public markets are testing whether the first pure-play AI IPO can land cleanly.

Inkling 2 Small: Hosted on Tinker Now, Open Weights Next Week
Thinking Machines Lab's Inkling 2 Small, a 594B-parameter MoE model with 17B active per token, is available today via Tinker's hosted API with closed weights. The company plans to release the full weights under an Apache 2.0 license next week after safety evaluations. The model supports text and image inputs (no audio), offers 64K and 256K context variants, and its per-token pricing on Tinker is operation-specific: prefill costs $0.30 per million tokens ($0.03 cached), sampling costs $1.00, and training costs $1.50 for the 64K context version. This article clarifies the current deployment routes, exact context limits, input modalities, and cost structure to help developers choose between immediate hosted access and future self-hosting.
