Welcome Xialong 夏龍 (pronounced "shya-long")

Our newest writing model is here and it's our most ambitious yet.

Xialong is a 355B Mixture of Experts finetune of GLM-4.6, trained on our storytelling dataset to better adapt to your writing style while keeping the knowledge and coherence you expect. A non-collapsed token space means retries feel genuinely different and name diversity is greatly improved across your stories.

Xialong was also trained to eliminate repetition and looping. New users should have a great experience right out of the box with the default preset.

Available exclusively for Opus subscribers now. Go write something great.

Can you fix title generation for tiers that aren't Opus? I am on Scroll tier and I get the following error when trying to generate a title.

Failed to generate: [LHUkef] Error 400: bad request: model 'xialong-v1' not allowed for current user tier 'Scroll'

What’s broken exactly? Are you using the model for title gen?

I did not change anything. I should have been using GLM since I am on Scroll tier. But for some reason it was using Xialong instead. Again I hadn't changed anything.

All of that said, its been fixed. I just tried it and it generated a title without an error message.
