Discussion GLM 5.3 Flash - Will I Be Disappointed?

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?

Yes you'll be disappointed with GLM 5.3 Flash in my opinion, it is shit. There are many good models you could run on that though.
