Choosing a Local Agent Stack Amid SOTA Claims from GLM-5, MiniMax, Gemini
Cautious_Bit_8521 · reddit · 2026-08-27
Amid simultaneous SOTA claims from GLM-5, MiniMax M2.5, and Gemini 3 Deep Think, the author advises focusing on optimization constraints rather than headlines: GLM-5 for sparse attention in long-horizon workflows, MiniMax M2.5 for cost/throughput, and Gemini 3 for reasoning quality. Suggests freezing the corpus, using Milvus for retrieval to isolate model changes, and testing grounded answers, latency, and cost on your own workload.
