How does it compare to 4.1 flash? Curious why folks don’t use the more “modern” one.

4.1 flash is very fast and capable. Token efficiency is not great so it fill up context window much faster compared to similarly capable models.

glm 5.3 flash is a tad slower but a bit more capable and way more token efficient.

  • Wow, I'm surprised you are saying GLM 5.3 Flash is more capable. Isn't is like half the price of 4.1 Flash?

I haven't tried 4.1 flash as I'm assuming its a preview. I did not get good results from the preview version of 4.0 flash (i.e. the one that did not include the month and date of release in its name).

  • 4.1 Flash is a horse of a very different color. It cooks. IMHO it's probably a preview of DS5, rather than a true DS4-series model.
