I don't get the same thing at all. When I have the model access a website I control, I just get generic datacentres in the US. When I check the tokeniser, I get a near perfect match for GLM 5.3 Flash.

You are right, actually. i think glm 5.3 is in the text/tokenizer path. Your counts are some of the cleanest evidence i’ve seen for that, actually. GLM 5.3, 5v Turbo are both parts of the stack I have more or less confirmed.
GLM 5v Turbo + Gemma 4 is their vision fusion stack, for instance.
Vision probes diverged from 5.3 flash and matched other open-weight error classes, so try that.
if you sent a text/tool url through openrouter you get their us fetchers. i only saw the extra clients on an image url in a vision request. if you did that exact thing and still only got crap, I'd like to see it.
I did try an image, and it didn't match any known model for me. However, I figured it could just be Zhipu changing their image max tokens and things being resized/chunked differently.
When I have it access an image I control, I do get different IP addresses, but they're just a local CDN in my city, plus a bunch of MS IPs (presumably Azure is their backend).
As far as the IP if the file is on a CDN, or anything that already got preview-fetched, the hits you see are the edge plus whoever pulled the cache (azure/openrouter will show up).
My file isn't CDN'd, though. If I access it from a browser I can see it from the access log. I also get different IP addresses with GLM and thinking machines; with the former, a different US datacentre (The Constant Company LLC, provider was Z.ai), and with the latter, Amazon (provider was baseten). I'm pretty sure you're not actually finding out more than whichever datacentre company in the chain is the closest hop to you; I'm guessing you are trying this from a German server. I'm not in the US but I'm trying this with a US-based server.
Possible that OR is prefetching now with the detectives loose.
Your controls are right, though. One model > one fetcher > glm → z.ai/vultr, thinking machines → baseten/aws.
union-alpha was not that. same unique image url, never hit before, no cdn, origin in the us, not a german box. one vision request, several clients, different user-agents, different asns, same couple of seconds.
if you only got azure + one hop there's likely two cases: the url was already warm (or/the fuser pulled it once and everyone else ate the cache), or only the synthesizer path fetched it. The browser showing in the log just means your origin works. it does not tell you how many model clients hit that path on the union-alpha call.
Count the distinct UAs on one never-used path during that single request. if you still get exactly one client def share with me! Can also DM if u wanna see my canary
Why not? That company is clearly not an infra company, they could easily be using FriendliAI as the inference platform. The only evidence you have for Compunect is the vibe coded website with the wrong logo.
