I have taken another look on these open models after the fiasco of Fable and GPT 5.6 this weekend and... GLM-5.2 truly is a good workhorse model for daily programming.

If you using opencode or similar you can just temporarily switch models -- in the same session -- to something that has vision and have it look at your image. And then switch back.
Or create an agent or subagent that just looks at images, and specify a vision model for that agent.

#293GPT does way worse than Opus without their harness, but better with it.
Opus 4.7 and 4.8 do way worse than 4.6. (Intentional nerfing?)
Would have been interesting to see GLM in the custom harness.
Would also be interesting to run GLM in Claude Code, which it has presumably been fine tuned on.

> but if you only want to use the best model available, it isn't there yet I'm trying to wrap my head around exactly why so may people seem to want the best model available when it has recently become clear that most halfway decent models can write damn good code for a fraction of the price. And the frontier models get nerfed constantly so you with open weight you can get something slightly less performant but way mo…
What is your favorite harness for the open weights?

8 X RTX6000. It will run you around 80-100k to get started with a model at this size with decent tps.. Don't worry though, open source evangelists will tell you that these will be running on your phone in the next 3 years. For $100k you could run this model 24/7 through open router with 10 concurrent sessions at 50tps for a decade and have money left over for a vacation. There's no point in investing this type of mon…
>Don't worry though, open source evangelists will tell you that these will be running on your phone in the next 3 years. Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I can run a quantised version of Gemma or Qwen on my 16GB M1 Macbook Pro that beats GPT-4 from 2023 hands-down. I wouldn't be surprised if, in another 3 years, you'd be able to run something as powerful as Opus 4.5 or GLM-5.2 on standard consumer hardware - s…

It is so easy to spend $100K on a pickup truck these days, it's not even funny.
Factory F350 Platinum is at least 90k sticker.
I assume (since they claim they are selling the batteries to AI data centers), they’ll produce some sort of EV >= F150 once the bubble pops, and we get a new president.

#298I added GLM 5.2 to my security bug hunting benchmark when it came out, and found it to be a good performer, but not the best open model. The benchmark tests whether models can find bugs Mythos found. The best open models in the initial benchmark were DeepSeek V4 Pro or MiMo 2.5 Pro. But it turned out MiMo got lucky, it's performed worse on almost every test I've done since, while DeepSeek has consistently been among…

#299You can launch GLM-5.2 in Opencode using Nemesis8: https://github.com/DeepBlueDynamics/nemesis8#nemesis-8 After installing, do a `n8 build` to build the image, then `n8 --danger --provider opencode interactive` to launch it in a container. Signup for GLM-5.2 here: https://z.ai
You can use GLM in OpenCode with a z.ai subscription by default as well. Also it'd be good if you mentioned you were involved with nemesis8.
When I posted the comment I was both the first commentor as well as the first person to upvote the submission. That matters. My name is ALSO on the open source repo that allows Opencode to be run in a container.
That's transparency, maybe not here, but on a clickthrough to Github it is immediately obvioius.
