Depends what you do. Complex tasks, poorly-defined tasks, sure. For relatively simple tasks, though, or very well-defined tasks, it's just as good and usually a lot faster. It also has a more neutral character and is somewhat less adversarial than Opus. (Opus is always "Let me push back on that..." whereas GLM is "sir, yes sir!") I use both and I appreciate both. If Opus disappeared tomorrow, though, I wouldn't cry -- I'd be able to adapt to a GLM-5.2-only life real quick.
- stingraycharles 4mo agoI think the point is that if you’re doing simple, well defined tasks then Opus is overkill and you’d want Sonnet instead. Meaning, GLM5.2 is Sonnet-quality, not Opus-quality.
- AlotOfReading 4mo agoI think it's interesting to note that in one year we've gone from they're not even close [0] to arguing whether open models are only as good as sonnet or opus. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44623953 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44623953
- stingraycharles 4mo agoI see the exact same discussion as we’re having right now there; people stating that local models aren’t as good as the state of the art, but good enough for certain tasks.
