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.

    The biggest problem with DeepSeek 4.1 Flash is all that it hallucinates a lot.
