I have already tested this and it is impressive.

If I have a fully maxed out MacBook Pro, would it make sense to just switch from Opus 4.8 to this? I've never tried running local models for coding...

Given that DeepSwe is one of the very few coding benchmarks worth taking a look at, this achieves rather excellent result at it (not far from opus 4.8). From looking at the results and my own impression of 5.1 and other models, I think this is the best Chinese coding model by some non-insignificant margin.

Zhipu AI is founded by a superstar Tsinghua professor, did an IPO in January (Hong Kong stock exchange) hired half it's past research lab and it's stock is >10x since. This is not a "just distill Claude" thing.

Looks like their code subscription is sold out. Clicking on the "Subscribe" button just does nothing. Pay-as-you-go API works well.
