    GLM5.3-flash has been fantastic for me to make minor fixes in ambigious ways. "Fix x feature, whats going wrong. " It does the job.

      GLM-5.3-flash is my implementation model after GLM-5.3 writes the plan.

      It's an excellent workhorse. When I am running out of my GLM quota I switch GLM-5.3-flash to DS-4.1-flash.

        Do you switch model mid session, or do you use subagent to do the switch after planning?
        1. surgical_fire · · focus · HN ↗
          Neither, I use different sessions for each step.

            So your planner leaves markdown files I assume...?
            1. surgical_fire · · focus · HN ↗
              Correct. I customized my harness so agents communicate with each other through markdown files.

              I find that it makes coding and review at the same time less prone to errors and cheaper

          I sometimes switch mid-session. Depends what I’m doing. Sometimes a model is slow or it’s not giving me what I want and I don’t want to dump the context. But if there’s a natural break, I’ll start a new session with a new model.

        Same. It's barely even touching the credit I have on openrouter, it's great.

        Those are my two workhorses as well.
