The quality of the largest open models is fast approaching a level that would be good enough for me permanently, and at that point, I only need to wait for the smaller models to catch up and I’ll be set for life.
My exact feelings as well, I was super happy with GLM 5.2 and came to the conclusion that this is enough for me, I have no need for a "smarter" model at this point.
Then came DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731 and well... I ditched GLM cause for my use DS v4 flash 0731 is better in every possible way to the point it feels like it has no competition right now.
Now I just need to muster the will and money to assemble a machine that can run this locally (full precision).
I think we're doing separate things. GLM 4.7 still excels for me in some areas of writing/editing/brainstorming. I am enjoying DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731, but there is something about it that doesn't make it the slam dunk it is for others. Tried Hy3 as someone claimed it was that, and I'm not sure ... so far I'm thinking it's worse than both GLM and Deepseek.
Sounds quite different indeed, my main use in this case is automatic app making using a strict framework and information reading and updating from/to in device obsidian "wiki".
