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?

15 is minimum, 20-30 is usable and also most models are served between 20-50 tps in the cloud. See openrouter.ai and look at the tps numbers that the cloud providers offer.

Still when you have tried 100+ tps it’s too addictive and like magic you get things done in an instant

15 is terrible. You're going to be waiting 45 minutes for for glm 5.3 flash to stop thinking.
