This aligns very closely with my experience.
When left to its own devices, GLM-4.7 frequently tries to build the world. It's also less capable at figuring out stumbling blocks on its own without spiralling.
For small, well-defined tasks, it's broadly comparable to Sonnet.
Given how incredibly cheap it is, it's useful even as a secondary model.
How is the web search functionality? I have only used deepseek to lower costs from gpt api but had to incorporate a serper to actually do web searches
Assuming you've configured the web search MCP [1], it works well.
