    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.

      Between GLM 5.3 Flash on my legacy Z.ai coding plan, and Qwen 3.8 Flash locally on my DGX Spark-like, I'm barely using my Anthropic/OpenAI subscriptions, likely to cancel them soon.

        It's been slow like molasses on the coding plan. I ended up using it more on fireworks. But DeepSeek is so much cheaper because the cache cost is much better.

          I’m kind of lucky that most of the time I don’t have to use it through peak times so it’s not that bad speed wise

          The legacy plan I have is so good as to be basically unlimited usage for my workloads, so I’m kind of stuck with it til they stop renewing it haha
