I retried Pi yesterday with GLM5.2 and Deepseek

I asked a simple question about my codebase. Pi: >60s and 100k tokens, I cancelled and gave up Claude (pointed at the same deepseek model): 17s 15k tokens

I burned my $5 GLM budget in 15 minutes.

So idk what the Pi hype is about cuz this is my 3rd disappointing try



GLM 5.2 is priced at 1/3 of Opus. Depending on who you ask for a napkin math.

Not worth it in my opinion.

You'll get 10x more value by using MiMo 2.5 or DeepSeek Flash which is what I use for most code.
