I am!

GLM-5 (which is all I have access to on it, not the newer GLM-5.1) is slightly better for the coding tasks I'm using them for, in terms of being more accurate slightly more often. Both are very good, and very close to one another in practice

Qwen3.5-plus is also quite excellent: all of these models feel pretty similar to Sonnet 4.5 in practice, though GLM-5 can have "Opus" like reasoning through surprisingly long context chains I've found.

I think GLM 5.1 is a step above M2.7 and Qwen 3.6. I’ve used it to do some planning when I ran out of Opus usage, and it’s done ok job. Wouldn’t trust it with some more difficult data shape edits etc., but it’s a nice option to have!

Composer 2, M2.7, and Qwen 3.6 are all capable to execute those plans just fine.

Qwen 3.5 is great and openly available, but it seems that Qwen 3.6 will only release smaller models (TBD, but the ~300B size seems to be excluded already).

Yeah I saw. Such a shame, I’m playing with a Q4 version of 3.5 122B-A10B on my Asus GX10, it’s kind of nuts how great a model you can run at home (with limitations of course)
