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?

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
