I still use GLM 4.7 for well defined coding tasks. I never got 5.0 to work satisfactorily, it felt like a hosting problem (z.ai) where it would work for a while then, for whatever reason, it couldn't respond to the context any more - but that's just a hunch.
I had no such trouble with 4.7 and find it fast and productive. Haven't tried 5.1; am using openAI models for coding most of the time.
- stavros 6mo agoI hit this as well. It just seems to hang and process for ages.
- alexfortin 6mo agoTry lowering thinking level with GLM-5.1, to me that seems to have an impact on mitigating the blocking behaviour.
- stavros 6mo agoHmm I'll try that, but OpenCode shows me the thinking and it's not even doing that. I'm just getting no tokens from it at all.
- knbknb 6mo agoSame here. Z.ai seem to promote 4.7 for smaller tasks, 5.1 for larger tasks (similar to Anthropic's recommendation for usage of Haiku and Sonnet/Opus models). 5.1 works for me already in the most economical basic paid tier ("lite coding plan"), unlike first release of v5 (5.0 ?)
