From what people say, it's better than GLM 4.7 (and I guess DeepSeek 3.2)

But it's also like... 10x the price per output token on any of the providers I've looked at.

I don't feel it's 10x the value. It's still much cheaper than paying by the token for Sonnet or Opus, but if you have a subscribed plan from the Big 3 (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) it's much better value for $$.

Comes down to ethical or openness reasons to use it I guess.

Exactly. For the price it has to beat Claude and GPT, unless you have budget for both. I just let GLM solve whatever it can and reserve my Claude budget for the rest.
