  "transcript": "I've seen plenty of benchmarks that put GLM-5.2 below many of the closed source alternatives but at their heels. I thought to myself, next version GLM will totally be where the best frontiers are at now.\n\nThe last few days I've been testing it on a real world project, and it's basically Goated in my view. I wish I can run it locally but I've seen some madlads with the hardware that could around here.\n\nToday I ran into [Design Arena's leaderboard](https://www.designarena.ai/leaderboard) for the first time, this is what OpenRouter bases its benchmarks numbers on.. and it's human voting based! You can plug in that Doner kebab test there and vote on the most delicious looking 🍢\n\n[Game Dev, GLM-5.2 one step below Fable 5](https://preview.redd.it/fejnvin4oz8h1.png?width=866&format=png&auto=webp&s=dfe3a68d642ce409dd9d7ef72e21e997d9838a69)\n\nAnd almost in every category, GLM-5.2 is kicking tokens and taking names. In some of the tests, it's right below Fable which for all intents and purposes is MIA.\n\nTherefore, GLM-5.2, the MIT open-weights model.. is in my view, equivalent to the best models Claude has today 😳👏 I think we just won.\n\nSo I guess most standardized benchmarks really don't reflect real-world performance anymore, either because they're based on old assumptions/expectations or simply because they're being blatantly gamed.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[40 upvotes] Can confirm so far GLM5.2 is the clanker I hate the least. It has that chinesium in it, I don't have words to describe it, but it has qwen vibes\n\nFable I gave a shot when we could, and I liked how terse it was that's the only thing I liked about it\n\n[13 upvotes] Tell me more about this Donner kebab testing..",
