I like GLM 5.2 it’s good enough for practically everything I’m doing, especially tool calls.

claude opus 4.8 doesnt even come close in terms of understanding how systems actually work or bothering to actually read existing code beyond the most cursory glance. the united states empire is truly over, as are these “premium” “flagship” closed weight Western models. Every so called mainstream “benchmark” publication is a bold faced lie where each company pays off the creators of each major benchmark publisher to tip the scales in their favor. Even when playing dirty, however, openai and anthropic still can’t win.
