My Impression of the New Models

GLM 5.1: Love, good story. Its like raven but works with scripting. Wish it was cheaper, use credits to make it 8k context.

DeepSeek V4 Flash: Good, but also terrible. Takes a few tries sometimes to actually get a response that isn't gibberish or random symbols. When it works it writes well. I find myself using DeepSeek 3.2 still though because this one doesn't work.

DeepSeek V4 Pro: Fucking expensive and has all the same problems as Flash. I will spend 16 credits and get a reply in chinese, or like three words. I don't use this.

Gemma 4: Rivals 3.2 as my go to free model. Wonderful writing. Problem is its as horny as Harbinger. Seriously, idk if its my scenario (Dark Fantasy romance) but like every character immediately tries to bang my character. I even have specific instructions about consent and platonic relationships and still.

I haven't tried Equinox or Fable as slice of life isn't usually my jam.
