China's New AI Just Broke Vision Models Forever (106B Parameters, MIT License)

Zhipu AI (Z.ai) just released GLM-4.6V, a groundbreaking 106-billion parameter vision language model that's rewriting the rules for multimodal AI. This is the world's first vision model with native multimodal function calling, meaning it can see images, call tools, process visual outputs, and keep reasoning—all without converting anything to text.

Key Capabilities:
✅ Design-to-code workflows (screenshot → HTML/CSS/JS)
✅ Visual web search with image-text fusion
✅ Multi-document financial analysis across 4+ companies
✅ Hour-long video summarization with timestamp accuracy
✅ Frontend replication with natural language edits

Why This Matters:
GLM-4.6V directly challenges proprietary models like GPT-4V and Gemini Vision while being completely open source under MIT license. This means full commercial use, modification, and local deployment without restrictions.
