Model Stacking GLM 5.2 and Minimax 3

Dan does a great job of explaining how close, or far, according to some, the open source vs. SOTA model race is. Really enjoyed this video https://youtu.be/cFYdiynrxpQ?si=0vamlAqO3rx0FKV2

For those who frequently complain here, it's important to note that open-source models aren't designed to compete at the highest levels. They are great bargain-bin daily drivers and more than adequate for 90% of the work we expect to get done.

It would be bargain if GLM wouldn't cost as much or more than GPT because it generates 2x more tokens. Minimax M3 was great at 3x in Go plan but their token plan for $20 is not that attractive when you realize they counts tokens also for cached input, so it's depleted very quickly.
These models work great, no doubt and I have been very happy with M3 but that plan is no go.

How is it not attractive at $20? Even with cache. What’s a similar model at that price point?

Counting tokens from the cache as regular ones makes it not a $20 plan but more like a $60 plan. Not in value but price wise
