Reading up on GLM 5.2

- Claude Sonnet 5
Anthropic releases Claude Sonnet 5 as a more agentic, cheaper model, but Hacker News commenters argue it often underperforms Opus 4.8 in real-world tasks and appears optimized for token consumption.

Genuinely impressed, almost shocked, at how good GLM-5.2 by @zai_org is at coding. This changes things.

This model is insane at design. I asked GLM 5.2 (left) and Opus 4.8 (right) to build me a landing page and you can't even tell the difference. GLM cost $0.06 while opus cost $0.49. More than 6x cheaper while being faster + more token efficient. Another win for open source AI.
