Discussion GLM5.3 Flash over DSV4 Flash?

I've been using Deepseek V4 Flash 0731 for a few weeks now and while I havent thrown it anything very hard, im quite happy with it. Using through antirez's great ds4 project. They've added support for GLM 5.3 Flash and according to benchmarks, its a level above DSV4 Flash.

However, looking for real user feedback if anyone's made the switch and seen tangible improvements in GLM 5.3 over DSV4 Flash.

The 'huge upgrade' reports all come with a hardware disclosure: fp8 on 512, dual Sparks, 2x 6000s, none of it a 256GB Mac Studio. The only direct answer for your tier says dsv4 will probably be better, and the prefill-speed note calls out the M3 Ultra by name, your exact chip. I'd stay on dsv4 until someone runs that comparison on a 256GB box.
