Why I’m Sticking with Both GLM-4.7 and Claude Opus 4.5 After the Big Update

GLM-4.7: A Game-Changer for AI Coding

After decades in tech, I’ve realized that the best AI coding model isn’t necessarily the most expensive—it’s the one that enhances your workflow without causing stress. With the recent release of Z.ai’s GLM-4.7, the conversation among developers has intensified, splitting opinions into “Claude-killer” and “overhyped” camps. However, my experience suggests that the future lies in leveraging multiple AI models strategically.

“We’ve entered the era where having multiple AI models isn’t luxury — it’s strategy.”

GLM-4.7 excels particularly in UI generation and multi-step tool workflows, proving to be remarkably effective for everyday coding tasks. Its affordable pricing at just $3/month allows for uninterrupted coding without token anxiety.

  • Use Claude Opus 4.5: For complex architectural decisions and long-horizon tasks.
  • Choose GLM-4.7: For cost-efficiency and rapid development cycles.

This dual-model approach lets you orchestrate your coding tasks like a symphony conductor rather than being confined to a single instrument. Curious about how to implement this in your own projects? Explore the full article for deeper insights!
