Glm5.1 is fantastic for me. But that could be how I use it, I don't ask it to build entire apps or entire features, instead asking it to build piecemeal functionality. For that it compares very well to chatgpt 5.4 (I haven't extensively tried 5.5, it might be better, might be same). I have given deepseekv4 pro a try but not much more than a try, as it performed subpar on 4 tasks in a row (missing the obvious/intended path, generating subpar slightly buggy code to make things work the not obvious way) , I gave up on it.

Glm5.1 for me was a bit of a llama3.1 moment (first open model i could chat with that was usable in manging my inputs the intended way) for code, the first open model that was actually usable.

I've never asked LLMs to build a whole app without detailed directions. I've done giving it a general data flow, structs and methods..etc

Are frontier models capable of building something only with general directions now?
