Writer debuts Palmyra X6 model and harness upgrades to cut token costs by up to 50 percent
↗
Writer released Palmyra X6, a post-training variation of Z.ai's GLM-5.2, alongside upgrades to its agentic harness to reduce token costs for enterprise deployments.
For engineering teams, the harness optimizations may offer a more reliable path to cost reduction than swapping models, as the efficiency multiplies across all models an organization runs. The new model and harness are available immediately to Writer clients and integrate with outside models imported through Azure or Amazon Bedrock.
