alt Hacker NewsI gave GLM 5.2 a spin on openrouter yesterday and it was mostly fine but it racked up $5 in token use in 30 minutes of (relatively slow) work.
It's easily 4x the cost of DeepSeek V4 but I didn't actually feel the results were that much better. I had GPT 5.5 in Codex review it after it was done and there was plenty of slop to go around.
Having better luck with MiniMax M3, from a cost/benefit ratio.

Try MiMo-2.5, I'm having astonishing success with it in opencode for cents per day. Not even the pro model.

GPT can find fault in everything and anything including its own work.

I really like DeepSeek V4 Pro. It's pretty smart and I get so much usage out of it on a $20 Ollama cloud plan.
With a good harness, that's my favorite model for any personal project. I use Opus 4.8 at work because i don't have to pay for it and of course I love it, but DeepSeek is like 80% there for one tenth of the price.
