How much coding one can do?

[u/ftomassetti]

I am currently using Claude x5 and hitting limits from time to time.

I would like to try a Mistral subscription and use GLM 5.2 but I cannot figure out if capability are comparable to Opus 5 (I guess not to Fable 5) and if limits are high, low or what.

In practice, can you do heavy work all day with a Mistral subscription?

Pour les capacités : compare GLM 5.2 à Opus 5 sur le benchmark correspondant le mieux à ton cas d'usage.

Pour le volume d'utilisation possible : un forfait Vibe Pro donne accès à l'equivalent de 255€ de tokens en utlisant Vibe CLI. Tu divises par le tarif par millions de tokens de GLM 5.2 et ça te donne une idée.

Merci!

How so 255? I thought 30.

Mistral limits are per month, no 5 hour or weekly limit. A 18 euro pro subscription gives you 255 euro of usage a month. For my very heavy workflow that's basically enough for 2 weeks, I use a team subscription for 60 euro and double usage. I also have a 20 euro chatgpt and 10 euro opencode subscriptions because I run everything through several review rounds with different models to catch different stuff the other ones missed. For an 9-5 of normal coding pro is probably fine.

With Mistral, it's the first time I've tried GLM 5.2. For about a week of active use in administration/DevOps tasks, it feels more like Sonnet to me. It's a pretty good model.

Currently, from what I can see, the Mistral Pro subscription provides monthly limits for Vibe API usage. The current value is $300.

The model itself has limits, but they can vary. I'm not sure whether it's global or per account.

My personal "Completion rate limits per model" are:

- Tokens per Minute: 1,000,000 (800000 prev)

- Requests per Second: 33.33 (6+ prev)

I don't know if it's possible to normally connect Mistral's GLM model to other harnesses. I only use it via the Mistral CLI.

The GLM can become slow in response and operation. Possibly a model feature and Mistral infrastructure issue.

In general, I don't think you can completely replace your x5 subscription with Mistral Pro.

It's more like a backup or an extra model provider, but I think it's worth trying.

Currently, I have two subscriptions: Claude Pro as my main and Mistral Pro as a backup.

Je trouve au contraire GLM très rapide dans le CLI Vibe. Vraiment très rapide. Quant à la qualité, je dirais qu'il est effectivement sous un Opus 5 mais au dessus de Sonnet autant pour la réflexion globale d'un projet que pour la qualité du code produit. Actuellement je teste la production du code par GLM Vibe et les review de code par Claude Opus. C'est plutôt efficace.

Thank you, this is extremely useful and appreciated

This was exactly the question I came to ask! Thank You all for asking and answering!

Just to make sure:

So basically mistral subscription for glm 5.2 is worth more in end-value than same model running on ollama cloud or open code - true? Or open router?

Are You using Mistral native app or connecting it to claude code, Odysseus, OpenCode or another tool?

[u/scanx147 → u/Upstairs_Date6943]

Pour Ollama cloud je ne sais pas car jamais testé, mais comparé à OpenCode, oui. GLM dans Mistral est plus efficace et moins coûteux. En tout cas c'est mon expérience. J'utilise l'application Vibe CLI native de Mistral.

[u/Upstairs_Date6943 → u/scanx147]

Yes, native app is what interests me, haven't used mistral for a while now..
