>> This is absolutely still shy of Sol and Fable, but only just by a hair. Ridiculous results.

Agreed.

This release is the first time I'm able to employ a GLM model to write a substantive plan for a complex Clojure PR [1] with both Opus 5 and GPT-5.x playing supporting / reviewer roles.

Initial results are __very__ encouraging. GLM 5.3 -

- follows directions,

- digs into detail, and

- correlates well.

Still not confident about entrusting GLM with implementation - but IMHO, western labs are entirely cooked.
