A Kagi representative said GLM-4.7 has been deprecated and is no longer offered by Kagi, with GLM-5.3 as its direct replacement powering Quick, and reported no issues with the newer model.", "body_md": "Jeanchallet Z GLM-4.7 uses randomly Chinese ideograms in an answer that is otherwise in French. For example: 荐告ique pour la mise en place (?)

We can only hope that it'll happen less frequently the more advanced the AI models get. GLM-4.7 has been deprecated and is no longer offered by Kagi.
