IMO building a harness is not wildly difficult (customize pi?) but the offerings from openai and anthropic are wildly subsidized in the subscriptions so they win by default if you want frontier capabilities. Glm 5.3 flash is great but it's not cheaper than a codex or Claude code 200 dollar sub and it does not have astra or fable level capabilities.

I made my own harness based on this, which I jerry rigged to a Codex sub.
