I have been mainly using only OpenAI and Anthropic for coding. I have tried other open source models but they all seemed to fail spectacularly. I heard about GLM 5.2 and have been giving it a go today, and so far, I am very pleased. I'm sure it isn't up to the frontier level yet, but so far this morning I am finding it completely usable for javascript coding. I have held off from looking into running local models until I have seen something that works, and this seems to work well so far. My hopes of getting sovereign as far as LLM models are concerned has increased.

Just like Bitcoin, self-custody matters. The more capable local models become, the less we have to rely on centralized AI providers.
