Glyph AI Breakthrough: How Visual Compression Is Revolutionizing Long-Text Processing

Visual Revolution: When LLMs Start Processing Text with “Eyes” This technical analysis is based on the October 2025 Glyph research paper. Views expressed are personal interpretations. 1. The 2025 AI Dilemma: The Compute Black Hole of Long-Text Processing When OpenAI’s o1 model triggered a reasoning compute arms race in 2024, Google DeepMind engineers uncovered a brutal truth: Every 100K tokens added to context increases training costs exponentially. Industry whitepapers from Q2 2025 revealed global AI compute demand surpassing $6.7 trillion, with 40% consumed by long-text processing. Against this backdrop, Glyph emerged from Tsinghua University and Zhipu AI – a framework …
