Domestic large models have suddenly slowed down recently. The rumored Qwen 4, expected to launch in September or October, hasn’t released a single update so far. DeepSeek V4.1 Pro, which was announced to arrive during National Day, has gone silent. GLM-5.5 was previewed for late October, but it never materialized. One or two delays could be shrugged off, but when three major models vanish simultaneously, something’s clearly off. Posters can be released ahead of time—but why are all the models late??
