This is profoundly misinformed. I use all three of those models regularly and the difference is just not that big anymore. GLM 5.1 is at least as good as Opus 4.5 - when it’s my dime it’s the primary model I use and switch to GPT 5.5 for planning and review but it’s also very capable at those things. If I had to pay API rates for everything there is no question I would only use GLM 5.1 (and Minimax for exploration tasks).

At work I mostly use Claude Code and a bit of Codex; personal projects are OpenCode and honestly I prefer it.
