I am trying to benchmark it now, but:
- It doesn't seem available in EU (?)
- Using a VPN seems to sort of fix it, but it's way slower than I expected, when everyone was praising it, it feels like the speed is slowly ramping up
- Cost is $2/$6 for <200k context only, above that, cost is $4/$12
- GLM-5.2 still seems smarter, faster and much cheaper:

- paradox460 3mo agoInstead of a VPN, might I suggest running litellm proxy on a server in the US and connecting to that
- XCSme 3mo agoWhat would the advantage be?
- paradox460 3mo agoYou have control over how the connections work and what they do, rather than just relying on the VPN exit server routing to get you to the right place. With things like a fly machine or whatever, you might even be able to run it for free
- trollbridge 3mo agoI concur that GLM-5.2 still seems "better" in my experimentation I did with it tonight, although Grok 4.5 is cheap if you can tolerate the way a Cursor subscription works.
