Yes I'm an engineer (20 years most in games/graphics industry) and only use it for code. I've been using glm 5.1 this week a lot. I went in expecting another "decent" but not really "up to standard" open source model.

I highly doubt I'll ever use Claude again.

I think you are wrong about Claude being any significant level better

I've been mostly coding with GLM-5.1 as well and I agree with you. DeepSeek V4 Flash is another very good surprise. Incredibly cheap, fast and effective.

I've been using DeepSeek v4 Flash with OpenCode for the whole week to refactor a Terraform code base I inherited and it worked surprisingly well.

Well I think there are a multitude of harder measurements that would disagree with you, but ultimately there is absolutely a use case for cheaper open models (or even cheaper tiers of proprietary models) and in fact the unsolved optimization everyone is trying to get to is how much spend to use for a given task. But there will always be a market, especially in enterprise, for the best performance there is to offer

Why are you boosting so hard? Lmao either you’re a paid poster or you own stock in a frontier firm. Which one?

Sadly neither :(
