It's surprisingly good. Beats MiniMax 2.7 and Qwen 3.5 Plus in my testing (I haven't tested 3.6 plus though), quite handily. It's far better than Sonnet, and often equivalent to Opus for the web development and OCaml tasks I'm using it for. It definitely isn't Opus 4.7, but its far good enough to earn it's keep and is substantially cheaper.

I agree with this. And also: it uses more thinking time to reach this. So while you get a lot of tokens on their plan, the peak 3x token usage multiplier + the extra thinking means you run into the rate limit anyways.

Did you compare it with Kimi K2.6 and DeepSeek V4 Pro? I feel they're similar but as GLM is more expensive, I am not using it much.

I second this, glm-5.1 is incredible.
