I feel the same. I feel Anthropics' raw models are excellent, but Claude Code's bloat make them lose some potential.

This and I very much miss reading the chain of thought. At least I have it on GLM-5.2.

I've tried GLM a few times but each time it ends up getting stuck in a loop and burning tons of tokens before I eventually kill it and restart. Has anyone had the same issue / know how to avoid it? I've been using Qwen 3.6 instead

Where are you sourcing the API from?

I have zero quality issues on Z.ai Coding Plan and maki.sh as the coding agent, but I've seen many reports on 3rd party providers that they host heavily quantized versions of GLM models.
