Not true since a few months, genuinely try GLM 5.2 and Minimax M3, especially in adversarial/gating... as a general model, I can agree, but as a coding model, they are not bad, comparable to maybe Opus 4.5 in real usage which is quite impressive.
I use GLM or DS4 to help me draft a better initial prompt with more information that I then give to Sonnet 5/Fable/GPT5.5. While benchmarks show the open models close to frontier level, my experience with them is drastically different. I have high confidence that Fable or GPT will 1 shot solutions.
At least with low level programming languages. They're all very good for webdev stuff.
yeah but why waste your time on these models, just use the one that gets the better results
I actively prefer GLM-5.2 for some tasks. For simple tasks the results are just as good as e.g. Opus, and it produces results significantly faster.
Because you can get them from more trustworthy providers or with hardware encryption.
i trust anthropic/openai with my data far more than some random startup.
I was going to respond until I saw your account name lol.
haha i outsource my thinking to the smartest model
