Yeah, I noticed this with Argon also. It did a good job on my tasks, but the absurd amount of reading it needed to do first seemed really weird, relative to other models.

It also felt more robotic than Claude or any of the other models (GLM-5.3 is basically an excited teenager, while claude is a teacher's pet (sorry Dave, I can't let you do that)).
