Team ditches GPT-5.4 for GLM in production, sees faster, cheaper, more reliable results

Developer ivanbezdomny reports migrating a production system from GPT-5.4 (calling 5.5 and 5.6 less reliable) to GLM and GLM-flash plus Jev and a custom finetune — resulting in a faster, cheaper and much more reliable setup, with a writeup planned.

In a follow-up he notes more teams are moving production systems to open-weights models not because they're cheap or great, but because using OpenAI or Claude in production is painful, arguing both are all-in on coding rather than serving prod systems.
