v1.17.0 — Quality scale 1-7, glm-5.2, score recalibration
What's new
Extended quality scale (1–5 → 1–7)
The previous 1–5 scale had claude-opus-4.6 and llama-3.3-70b both at quality:5, leaving no headroom for near-frontier MoE models like gpt-oss-120b and kimi-k2.6. The new scale:
| Score | Tier | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | True frontier | claude-opus-4.6, claude-opus-4.8 |
| 6 | Near-frontier MoE | gpt-oss-120b, kimi-k2.6/k2.7, deepseek-v4-pro, glm-5.2, zai-glm-4.7 |
| 5 | Strong large/MoE | llama-3.3-70b, qwen3-30b-a3b, glm-4.7-flash |
| 4 | Capable mid | llama-4-scout, gpt-oss-20b, haiku-class |
| 3 | Capable small | mistral-small-24b, llama 8B |
| 2 | Limited small | llama 3B |
| 1 | Toy | <2B params |
Routing effect
gpt-oss-120b (quality:6) now correctly outscores llama-3.3-70b (quality:5) for HIGH_PERFORMANCE and TOOL_CALLING tasks where quality weight is dominant.
New model: @cf/zai-org/glm-5.2
Z.ai flagship agentic coding model. Active on Workers AI. 262K context, direct-response (not CoT), function calling. $1.40/$4.40 per 1M tokens.
Bug fix
@cf/openai/gpt-oss-120b description corrected — this model is OpenAI's own open-weight 117B/5.1B-active MoE (≈ o4-mini tier), not Phi-4 as the previous description implied.
