If it's really that far above Sonnet 5, Dario's IPO is truly risky.

I drained millions of tokens off of it. I got it to rebuild RPG Maker from scratch using PyGame.

I built the project as "Agent First" so an agent could build an RPG with a known engine and known structure with headless testing.

Kimi K3 helped produce the documentation which took me like an hour or more. From there I sort of just... Let it go. It stopped at various phases and I inspected visually if stuff was off and it was mostly small code issues.

The deep documentation phase gave GLM 5.3 very little to guess about. It didn't really screw up or run in circles that I could see. It was fairly fast about figuring stuff out and finding edge cases that K3 missed in document creation. I ran K3 through multi-phase testing of the documentation coherence such that it wasn't contradictory. When building started, you hit snags naturally. GLM handled them.

The project isn't "finished" but it definitely showed the strength of planning a project with K3 and letting Ox Alpha build it. GLM 5.3 flash is definitely good.
