New Chinese AI Model Is INSANE! (FREE & Open Source)

Full transcript

New Chinese AI model is insane, free and open source. Today I'm going to show you a brand new AI model from China that just changed the SEO game forever. Let's get into it. Okay so here's the deal, a Chinese AI lab called z.ai just dropped a new model.

It's called glm 5.2 and this is one of the biggest open source AI releases of the whole year. Now why should you care about this if you do SEO? Stick with me because this one little model can do a ton of your SEO work for you. But first let me tell you the wild part about why they made it.

The US just put a block on some American AI models so other countries couldn't use them. So China said fine we'll make our own and we'll give it away for free to the whole world. That's exactly what glm 5.2 is. So while the big closed companies are locking their doors this Chinese lab is throwing theirs wide open and that matters for your SEO a lot.

Let me show you why. Hey if we haven't met already I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of SEO agency Goldie Agency. Whilst he's helping clients get more leads and customers I'm here to help you get the latest AI updates. Julian Goldie reads every comment so make sure you comment below.

First thing you need to know, this model has a 1 million token memory. Now what does that even mean? Let me make it super simple. Think of an AI's memory like a desk.

Most AI models have a small desk. You put a few papers on it and the older stuff falls off the edge. It forgets. So when you're working on a big SEO project the AI keeps losing track of what you told it.

And here's where it gets fun. Imagine you run a business and you want to grow it online. You could load up all your content and have GLM 5.2 build you a full SEO plan in one shot. I'll give you a real example.

Let's say you wanted to grow the AI profit boardroom. That's my community where members get over a hundred ready to use prompts, a 30-day roadmap, weekly coaching calls and a stack of done for you SOPs. You just paste in a prompt like this. I run an online community that teaches people how to use AI to grow their business.

Write me 30 blog post ideas that would rank on Google and pull in people who want to learn AI automation. For each idea give me the title and the main keyword it targets. That's it. You don't have to feed it anything else.

It reads the prompt and hands you the ideas ready to go. That's the power of a big memory. It keeps your SEO on track. But wait, I haven't even told you the best part yet.

Stick around because what this thing can do next is going to blow your mind. Now let me hit you with the second big thing. This model isn't just a chatbot. It's built to be an AI worker.

The folks who made it aren't calling it a chatbot. They're calling it an AI engineer. What does that mean for you? It means it doesn't just answer one question and stop.

It can plan out a job, then do the job step by step for a long time on its own. The older version of this model, GLM 5.1, could run on its own for up to eight hours straight. Eight hours. That's a full workday and the new one is built to keep that going.

So think about what that means for SEO. You could point it at a project and say go and it just works. It plans, it writes, it checks its own work, it fixes mistakes and it keeps going. Now hold that thought because I'm going to show you exactly how to use this for your own site in just a second.

Okay, so you know it has a giant memory and you know it can work for hours on its own. Now let me show you how to actually point it at your SEO. Let's stick with my AI profit boardroom example so this feels real. Say I want more people to find that community on Google.

I just paste in a prompt like this. I run an online community that teaches AI automation for business. Give me the keywords my competitors likely rank for, then write me a content plan so my community can rank for those same keywords. Give me the page topic, the target keyword and a short outline for each one and it goes and does that.

It hands you a full plan. That's hours of SEO work done while I grab a coffee. No setup, no files, just the prompt. Or here's another prompt you can steal.

Just paste. Build me a landing page for my online community that teaches AI automation for business. Show how AI automation helps grow a business. List all the benefits of joining.

Write the headlines in the copy and write it so it pulls in more people from Google search. And it writes the whole thing. Headlines, the copy, the structure. All of it set up to rank.

This is the kind of stuff that used to take a team a full week. Now one AI model can take a swing at it in an afternoon. Here's the thing you've got to understand. The AI gives you the raw work.

To actually win the SEO game, you still need to know the right moves, what to ask for, how to structure it, what Google actually rewards. That's the part most people get wrong and that's exactly what we cover inside the iProfit boardroom. But more on that at the end, let me keep showing you what this model can do. Let me hit you with the third thing.

This model has two speeds, two thinking modes. One mode is for everyday stuff. It's faster and lighter. You use it for quick jobs.

The other mode is the heavy one. It's slower but way smarter. You use it for the hard SEO problems, big content plans, tricky competitor research, the deep work. So you get to pick.

Need it fast? Use the light mode. Need it brilliant? Switch to the heavy one.

Simple. And you've probably seen this with other AI tools. Some have a quick mode and a deep mode. This is the same idea.

You choose speed or you choose brains depending on the job. Now here's the fourth thing and this is huge for anyone who wants to build with it. GLM 5.2 is coming out with an MIT license. Now I know that sounds like boring legal stuff but stick with me because this is the part that makes it free in the real sense.

A lot of so-called free AI models still have rules. You can't use them for business. You can't change them. You can't host them yourself.

The MIT license throws all that out. With MIT you can use it for your business. You can change it. You can host it on your own computer.

You can build a whole product on top of it with almost no rules holding you back. So a small business owner doing their own SEO, you can run this thing yourself. No permission needed. No big company controlling you.

It means the power isn't locked up by a handful of giant companies anymore. It's out in the open for everyone. Now I saved one of my favorite parts for the end here. The fifth thing.

GLM 5.2 plugs right into the coding tools people already use. It works with Claude Code. It works with Klein. It works with a tool called OpenClaw and a bunch of others.

Day one. Why does that matter for you? Because you don't have to throw away your setup and learn something brand new. You just swap one model out for this one and keep working like normal.

It's a drop-in. Easy. So if you already use an AI tool to help with your website, you might be able to drop GLM 5.2 right in and get that giant memory and that all-day worker often for free once the open weights land. And that brings me to this.

If you want me to hand you the whole system, come check out the AI Profit Boardroom. Inside you get over a hundred plug and play prompts you can paste in and use right away.
