Ive been using glm5 since its release and still prefer it to glm5.1 and so far to glm5.2
Perhaps it is just my harness and workflow, but the older model still seems to work better. Also the token cost is significantly lower. I rarely spend more than $20 a week with $50 cap. Not even half claudes ambiguous minimum $200 a month plan.
Now that's a tremendous pointer, I'm going to have to try that.
Do you full on let GLM5 get stuff done on its own or is it more like a guided workflow? The former's what the point releases doubled down on and is also something that uses a lot of juice.
Ive been using openspec and let it do the whole spected out project until its done. I dont interact other than the initial proposal, then apply, archive steps.I often run several in parallel on the same project in opencode.
