I am seeing extremely positive results with Elixir too. Previously I was on Deepseek (deepseek-v4-pro) and GLM5.2 outperforms Deepseek easily. It's been a month since I used any native Claude models (simply because of pricing) but then, GLM5.2 is running for me at $20/day in usage on OpenRouter for GLM5.2. I am not sure if I've misconfigured Claude code or if this is indeed normal usage pricing. But, the output more than makes up for it. However, using Deepseek v4 pro directly from deepseek.com using their discounted pricing is insanely cost efficient. I topped up $10 a month and a half ago and I'm still yet to use up all the money in my account. Here's hoping that SOTA models become even cheaper!
