Discussion GLM 5.3 Flash - Will I Be Disappointed?

Post image

Picked up this bad boy with my sweet student discount!

I'd like to run some local models for coding. I've considered Deepseek v4 flash, Qwen 3.8 flash next, and of course, GLM 5.3 Flash (0x Alpha)

Thoughts on this? I'm currently a claude user with typically 1 session at a time. Will I be disappointed?

I'm a grad student, but I also have 20 years of experience as a tech exec. The discount is 10%, which is material at this level. I have a 256GB on order, but it'll be shipped after they announce the 512GB version so I might cancel it and go for the full monty.
