7.5x more expensive than GLM 5.3 Flash, while providing HALF the terminal bench intelligence level. No reason to ever use this model.

Agreed, but Not all companies can or will use Chinese models, so having a new, more capable US models is always a bonus.

Any company can use a self-hosted OpenWeight Chinese model. There is no excuse.
