Pretty clearly it's beating Opus at [web dev](https://www.gptbased.com/) - on price, on score.. I mean what else is there?

Article states it's not multimodal. I guess that means for webdev it means you can't take a screenshot to indicate errors etc.

I hate to be that guy, but real privacy policy on training data/it being hosted somewhere where I'm not worried about secrets being stored/leaked.

Open weights win on that front surely?

Assuming I have 20k to run my own version of GLM?

I guess the idea is that you probably can, or will be able to, find a host that you trust at least as much as you trust Anthropic.

I'm sorry, is this criticism of Z.AI and China or Anthropic and the US? Not that there is much of a difference these days..

Realistically you’d need to rotate secrets anyway once it moves from dev to production regardless of model provider

2016 me would agree, but 2026 me looks at Trump and Dario, and at China, sees basically no ethical difference (or possibly even an ethical deficit for America) and considers that perhaps it's better to go with the option that isn't trying to hoodwink me with bullshit platitudes and flag waiving while doing whatever they want in actuality.

Its on other providers, like Together.ai

Latency? Just saying there's other things to consider.
