I've not used it as a self hosted model but I've been powering a lot of my AI flows with GLM4.7 and have little complaints for what it is. It's what's powering my clawdbot and Ralph loops and while it's no where close to the current Opus I'd say it's not incredibly far behind Sonnet.

Can I ask what hardware you're running it on?
E.g. would a Mac studio do the job?
New to self hosting but considering to give it a go
I don't run any models. I use GLM through z.ai's coding plan, which is incredibly cheap.
I need to look at doing the same but have been using the mental model that were still in the early 00s PC era of AI hardware. I think we'll see massive improvements that will make today's products look outdated. I'm still focused on SOTA models for my money now with hopes that as things optimize I'll spend a year or two of model costs for my own self hosted hardware in a few years when things start to stabilize and new hardware lowers current costs.
Cool. I think I misread your prior note.
I am pleased to hear you rate GLM 4.7 well. The hardware I have coming should run it.
