Benchmarks and cost don't really help me understand how good a model actually is. Anyone have hands on experience working with the current newest models? What work did you do, and how did the model performance ?
I have been using it since it was available in opencode Go plan.
It replaced all other models for me.
It's much less chatty than DeepSeek V4. And it feels noticeably smarter. I also use Claude at work and GLM 5.3 feels like Opus 4.8 (which I consider better than Opus 5).
It tends to be more proactive with suggestions after a task is done also.
DS4 Flash is awesome but GLM 5.3 is better despite being a bit more expensive.
