After a week of using GLM 5.1 with my OpenClaw agent, I can once again say that there is no one in the space that's even close to Opus 4.6.
When GLM works, it's mid. That doesn't happen often though. It hallucinates and just is far inferior to what I'm used to using.
If I had to use my agent with this model, I would not want to continue and I would give up.
If you're a power user, you can tell the difference immediately.
You absolutely get what you pay for.
