Interesting, I have roughly the opposite experience regarding speed: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash gets stuff done way more quickly for me than GLM 5.3 Flash. (I was getting 300+ tokens/sec with DS vs ~100 with GLM in my testing.) I agree that GLM 5.3 Flash is a slightly better model, but for me at least, it's not a huge difference, and I'd rather have DeepSeek's speed.
