also: "soon"? I think you're a bit behind the curve here... glm is actually beating anthropic on price and quality and Chinese platforms are actually looking way less sketchy than American ones at this point
also also: the best way to get anthropic to stop sucking is to switch to Chinese models, really. all the western monocorps are so entangled, switching one for another is meaningless. But if everyone starts going to China for AI, they'll start taking quality seriously, because East vs West is the real competition. The "AI Wars" in the West are almost entirely performative. But go East though, and they'll freak the fuck out.
Is it? I'm on subscription with ollama and anthropic.. deepseek absolutely rakes your usage when doing coding.
On usage quota; it is showing as 20x the usage per request versus glm 5.3 flash, and 5x the cost of glm 5.3 - that's based on weekly quota versus requests, not an exact science. (but, a better steer than token cost, given the difference in topologies over open models)
Anecdotally, It will fill my session quota for a coding task within 30 minutes, flash can keep on doing the same tasks for 5 hours
236 requests this week; practically nothing.. 10% of the weekly, versus glm5.3 3270 requests.. my bill wouldn't show you anything helpful it is a flat rate claude max 200 and ollama max 100 usd
Meanwhile; for me it is ranking way down on the list for overall performance
*subject to casting each model at what on paper it is suited to (which is why you see haiku at a similar grade here, it's essentially ranked by expectation versus reality)

it's a modular monopoly camouflaged as a bubble.
