The biggest upgrade isn't another model.
It's shared memory. Every Hermes conversation gets written into an Obsidian vault. Claude Code, Hermes, Qwen 3.8 and other agents can pull from the same context. Switch the model. Keep the memory.
GLM 5.3 Max vs Qwen 3.8 Max vs Grok 4.6 vs Opus 5
GLM 5.3 Max is actually holding up really well here. My ranking for this run: Opus 5 > Qwen 3.8 Max > GLM 5.3 Max > Grok 4.6 Definitely competitive now. GLM is getting scary close.
All models are so creative now
I gave Gemini 3.7 Flash, Grok 4.6, Qwen 3.8 Max, and Claude Opus 5 an ace of clubs card. And told them to be creative and draw inside the card, using the card as inspo and here are their results
