GLM 5.2 is slower for sure (although they offer a fast version), and it's more expensive. But in my experience, it's universally better than Deepseek V4-flash-0731. Don't get me wrong, the new Flash version is amazing.
But the use cases I have looked at are about source code understanding, bug finding, etc. - GLM 5.2 is clearly better.
I think by using some prompt engineering, you will probably be able to close this gap, but some extra work is needed.
And I'll say it again: the new Flash version is amazing. I love it. That level of intelligence for the price is unprecedented, and the fact that it's open weights and runs locally makes me genuinely happy.
