GLM-5.0 is the real deal as far as open source models go. In our internal benchmarks it consistently outperforms other open source models, and was on par with things like GPT-5.2. Note that we don't use it for coding - we use it for more fuzzy tasks.
- sourcecodeplz 6mo agoYep, haven't tried 5.1 but for my PHP coding, GLM-5 is 99% the same as Sonnet/Opus/GPT-5 levels. It is unbelievably strong for what it costs, not to mention you can run it locally.
- deepsquirrelnet 6mo agoI am working on a large scale dataset for producing agent traces for Python <> cython conversion with tooling, and it is second only to gemini pro 3.1 in acceptance rates (16% vs 26%). Mid-sized models like gpt-oss minimax and qwen3.5 122b are around 6%, and gemma4 31b around 7% (but much slower). I haven’t tried Opus or ChatGPT due to high costs on openrouter for this application.
- epolanski 6mo agoSame thing I noticed. My use cases are not code editing or authoring related, but when it comes to understanding a codebase and it's docs to help stakeholders write tasks or understand systems it has always outperformed american models at roughly half the price.
- foopod 6mo agoIt really bothers me that people refer to open weight models as being open source. They fundamentally aren't and are more akin to freeware than anything else.
