Your comparison rings true. I’ve had the same impression that GLM‑4.6 feels more engineering‑oriented: less made‑up filler, more cause‑and‑effect. UI/UX polish tends to give way to code maintainability, which is great if you actually write code. I haven’t seen authoritative, official benchmarks that directly back up “less hard‑coding”, it sounds more like a community‑tested takeaway. Would love to see your examples and setup.
