First protocol-matched GLM-5.3-Flash row on SadeedDiac-25 (the
2026-08-17 attempt was blocked by HTTP 403; access cleared).

Protocol DER (CE) DER (w/o CE) WER (CE) WER (w/o CE)
raw 8.5721 6.5335 30.8406 24.1634
zero-skip 8.7978 6.6368 31.0323 24.0472

vs GLM-5.2 (thinking disabled): raw 2.5060/1.5537, zero-skip
2.6911/1.7179 — the newer model is ~3.4x worse on DER and lands
behind Sadeed-1.5B (7.2915).

Protocol delta the API forces: the model rejects
thinking: {"type": "disabled"} outright (HTTP 400 code 1210 —
"always engages in thinking"); valid reasoning_effort values are
exactly low/high/max. Run at low, the nearest analog to plain
completion. Driver of the gap: Quranic-convention orthography
(dagger-alif forms the GT lacks; 9.8% not-fully-diacritized words)
plus the reasoning floor. Recorded as a dedicated-model data point —
the frontier's newest generalist regressed on this classical-knowledge
task relative to its predecessor.

Measurement hygiene: an initial pass resumed 140 checkpoint rows
that the pre-#62 both-knobs payload had retried into empty strings —
Total DER read 15.96 contaminated by 11.7% empties. Purged and
re-fetched: final numbers are 1,200/1,200, zero empty responses.

Also tracks sadeed_evaluator.py (imports by eval_sadeed_glm.py
but previously lived only as an untracked local file — the eval was
not reproducible from a fresh clone).

Follow-ups in #59/#62: the eval script now refuses glm-5.3* without
an explicit effort and warns when responses carry reasoning_content.

….6368 zero-skip

First measurement of GLM-5.3-Flash (320B/18B active) on the
benchmark; the 2026-08-17 403 cleared. reasoning_effort=low (the API
rejects disabled thinking outright — HTTP 400 code 1210 — so the
plain-completion protocol is not expressible for this model).
~3.4x worse DER than GLM-5.2 and behind Sadeed-1.5B: Quranic-
convention orthography (dagger alif, 9.8% not-fully-diacritized
words) against the benchmark's MSA conventions. Recorded as a
dedicated-model data point.

Measurement hygiene: an initial pass resumed 140 checkpoint rows that
the pre-fix both-knobs payload had retried into empty strings —
Total DER read 15.96 with 11.7% catastrophic empties. Rows purged and
re-fetched; final numbers are 1,200/1,200 with zero empty responses.

Also tracks sadeed_evaluator.py: eval_sadeed_glm.py imports it, but
it lived only as an untracked local file — the eval was not
reproducible from a fresh clone.
