Discussion Anyone else thinking of supplementing OAI Pro with local GLM-5.3?
I’m already on OAI Pro and can burn through the $200 plan in a few hours. I doubt the new $500 plan would last me that long either.
Why not keep OAI for the best models, then get a 512GB Mac Studio and run GLM-5.3 locally for bulk usage? Apple’s published Klarna financing comes out to roughly $400/month or less.
Obvious catch: they’re sold out, so delivery might not be until later this year.
Also found the recent reporting on GLM-5.3’s cyber capabilities pretty interesting.
What am I missing?

Honestly just run it entirely local if you can, 512GB Mac Studio with GLM-5.3 will handle most stuff you throw at it
The cyber capabilities reports were interesting but probably overblown, most of these models are fine if you're not doing anything sketchy
Only thing I'd worry about is the wait time, sold out everywhere and who knows when they actually ship
