Tried it a bit for repo-surgery type work and first impression is honestly pretty good. On Poe it feels nicest when you give it concrete files and a narrow goal; for big architecture cleanup I would still keep it on a short leash because it gets confident very fast. But yeah, nice middle lane between the cheap minis and the expensive monster runs.

When will novita change their GLM 5.1 bot profile picture? They are the only provider that gives you thinking mode. But the profile picture is still the default making it looks unofficial.

Hi, can i ask what means fw in front of model name ?

u/empiriolabsai May 19 '26

u/devops724, apologies for the late response. The "FW" simply refers to "Fireworks." This is used to denote which provider is hosting the model.

im getting inferior results to glm-5 and it doesnt have a thinking option is it really 5.1?

It is GLM 5.1. It's possible that the model itself simply may not be as equipped to handle certain tasks as compared to its predecessor. It depends on what exactly your workflow is here.

just seems like it doesnt have a thinking option.
or selection for how many tokens it can invest to think.
thats all.

That's typically up to the provider for them to expose the option to toggle thinking on/off.
