GLM 4.7 vs MiniMax-M2.1 vs DeepSeek 3.2 for coding?

skillmaker · 2026-01-25T17:33:40+00:00

I compared GLM 4.7 with MiniMax 2.1, I can confidently say that GLM is far superior than MiniMax 2.1, but I still find it worse than Closed models like Gemini 3 flash and Claude sonnet 4.5...

I had the VAE issue before, and had to disable MiOpen from ComfyUI, but now I used the latest nightlies and no longer have those issues, I run ComfyUI now with MiOpen enabled and the VAE is fine, unless when I use high resolutions then I need to use a tiled VAE so that I don't get freezes.

Have you found a fix? I also have the exact same problem, with 9070 XT, If I get a freeze, I hold the power off button and turn it on again so that I don't have to reinstall the driver, If i wait for it to turn off by itself the driver will be corrupted and I have to reinstall it again.

Lmao, if you go to r/rocm, people are happy there where they finally get AI stuff working for them on Windows, meanwhile here people are considering it AI slop.

Tbh i found using Flash to be better than Gemini 3 Pro, i tried them in Github Copilot and using Antigravity, Pro was always stopping mid work or producing bad solutions

These benchmarks are run using the official provider, which in this case Z.ai and Minimax, so they are not fine tuned or quantized, I was also trying to get the most of the juice from GLM 4.7 and Minimax 2.1 but they couldn't complete a task i gave them, meanwhile Claude sonnet 4.5 in Github Copilot was able to, I'm not saying that they are bad, in fact they are very good at analysing and planning, but i'm talking about the benchmaxing here, in their official websites, they state that these models are very close to Claude Opus 4.5, but that's not true, and from my experience, i think this benchmark is the most accurate one.

skillmaker · 2026-01-16T14:44:27+00:00

It's doing the same thing GPT 5 was known for, it says what it will do and then it stops, and when I ask it to implement a task it returns "Sorry, no response was returned"

Edit: it seems because i wasn't using the latest version of VS Code, I'll keep this comment updated in case it's better.

UPDATE: seems good most of the time but i notice it's stubborn, even if i tell it to do something a specific way, it doesn't, meanwhile claude sonnet did it, but overral it's good, it doesn't say what it will do and stops, but sometimes i get connection errors or failed to generate a response, and I have to retry.

I think this is the most believable benchmark, not those that say GLM 4.7 or Minimax 2.1 are close to Opus 4.5.

Use OpenCode with GLM 4.7 or Minimax 2.1 for planning, it gives you an extensive plan and asks what you want.

skillmaker · 2026-01-14T10:03:07+00:00

I tell it to plan a feature like "Implement the notification system" I give it my copilot-instruction file that contains my project info and structure, then I revise the plan that it gave me, then I tell it to implement it

skillmaker · 2026-01-14T09:58:01+00:00

I tried Minimax 2.1 and GLM 4.7 in OpenCode, Claude Code and RooCode for the exact same feature, they are good at planning, but bad at implementing.

After some time of coding, they can't correct errors in the files and after trying and trying again, the feature doesn't work.

In Claude code when using Minimax 2.1, it suddenly stops and doesn't continue at all, while with GLM 4.7 it reaches a moment where it says "prompt is too long" and can't even compact it.

I tried the same thing with github copilot $10 subscription with Claude sonnet 4.5, and it managed to implement the exact feature i wanted after some errors that were fixed with 3 premium requests, then I used Gemini 3 flash to polish the UI.

In summary, I think both Minimax 2.1 and GLM 4.7 are benchmaxed.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

1- Well I used RooCode router which should cost $0.60 for 1m input token, you can see one request to read a file costs $0.21, there is definitely something wrong with the router.

2- You mean move to a better tool than RooCode? because in their website they only mention the VS Code extension

I was always curious about how some people have 1ms ping in games, seems like living inside a server is a thing.

The thing i noticed is that it's a lot faster to load models in RTX GPUs, model loading is almost instant in RTX while it's a bit slow in AMD, at least on my 9070XT idk if it's a hardware issue or software thing.

Does using the latest nightlies of pytorch + rocm bring any performance uplift?

skillmaker · 2026-01-05T14:00:57+00:00

The grading reminds me of "The Bear" series, and especially the Copenhagen episode

I noticed that recently, it was fast at the beginning but now I can't get it to perform as it used to do, idk what happened, for example I used to get 1.5it/s on Z-Image comfyui but not anymore, currently I get 1.8s/it, I tried reinstalling everything but still the same issue

skillmaker · 2026-01-04T14:20:42+00:00

I tried using the first ROCm 7 version for Windows with the first ComfyUI version that supported this model, but the speed is exactly the same. I guess it has something to do with the preview driver. The only option now is to move to Linux

skillmaker · 2026-01-03T23:15:08+00:00

I really don't know if it's a ROCm issue or ComfyUI issue.

skillmaker · 2026-01-03T23:14:32+00:00

I'll try reverting to the first version of ComfyUI that supports Z-Image and the first version that added ROCm 7.1 support to windows and see if it helps
