What is and isn’t public

An evidence-based summary of what this catalog has documented. It is not a verdict on the organization as a whole.

Writer's newest Palmyra X5 and X6 models are offered through its platform and API; this catalog found no downloadable weights for them. On Hugging Face, Writer has published Palmyra-X-4.3-73B and domain models such as Palmyra-Med-70B-32K under the Writer Open Model License, which permits only non-commercial use unless a separate license is obtained, and the Palmyra-mini models (September 2025) under Apache 2.0.657101189

In the news

Dated, sourced updates in this catalog's news that mention this entry.
  1. · Release

    WRITER releases Palmyra X6, post-trained on GLM 5.2, alongside WRITER Agent upgrades

    WRITER announced Palmyra X6 on August 13, 2026 as its new flagship model, aimed at marketing and revenue workflows and designed to run inside the WRITER Agent harness. The announcement says X6 was post-trained on top of GLM 5.2, an open-weight model. The same release adds WRITER Agent features including batch execution, sub-agent delegation, support for enabling models from providers such as Anthropic and OpenAI, and bring-your-own-model support for Microsoft Azure, AWS Bedrock, and NVIDIA NIM. The announcement does not say whether Palmyra X6 weights are released. USASI has not tested Palmyra X6.
