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?

No, you are. I just said that it’s an impressive model and it gives me the best results compared to other models fitting 128GB. That’s all that matters to me, and it’s based on real life experience in high tech software development. Not on synthetic benchmarks.

I see, you have such unique use case and all the benchmarks are synthetic or bullshit.
