Are Chinese Flash Models Really Faster? Overthinking, Measured in Real Sessions

2026-09-25T12:00:00+09:00

Introduction

I used to avoid any model outside OpenAI and Anthropic. But the free GLM-5.2 that Devin offered completely changed my impression of Chinese open-weight models.

GLM-5.2 finds problems fast, which makes it great for quickly producing scripts and small tools, and for rapid trial-and-error in real environments (for example, having it verify low-level webOS commands to quickly produce a skill). The craziest part: during the promo period, none of the usage counted against my quota. Insane value for money.
