mariopt | on: Claude Opus 4.8
I’ve been using Kimi 2.6, GLM 5.1 , Minimax 2.7 and lately deepseek. I only spend 40$ a month and I don’t see the point in paying for Opus/Codex.

Chinese models are really quite good at a lot of stuff.

Which harness?

I use opencode with all of them except Kimi, I noticed Kimi performs better with kimi-cli and also save a bit of quota.

Z.ai does recommend to use claude cli as a harness for GLM5.1, I still get good results with opencode.
