I'm going to leave my above comment for embarrassment/posterity, but since writing it I've driven GLM5.2 much more extensively and I take it back. 5.2 is surprisingly, even shockingly good. It seems MUCH better than when I tried it on day one, and I probably shouldn't have drawn solid conclusions from that as models often struggle a little on launch.

I take it all back, 5.2 is very much competitive with any Opus and Fable seems very much in reach if they can continue making these leaps. It seems ZAI has quite a lot more up their sleeve than I had surmised.

And GLM-5 is built on DeepSeek V3 :)

There is still a lot of optimization left to squeeze out of LLMs.
