Recommended replacements for glm 4.7 flash
A user on reddit.com is seeking recommendations for replacements for GLM 4.7 flash, which they find performs better than Qwen 3.6 35 a3b, especially for tool calling and world knowledge, despite its age. They are using a strix halo and are looking for a newer model that is comparable in size and performance to GLM 4.7 flash, suggesting their Qwen setup might be incorrect.

I know I sound crazy, but i’m using a strix halo and finding that GLM 4.7 flash just runs significantly better than qwen 3.6 35 a3b. But its obviously quite old at this point, i wish we had a new glm that was 4.7 flash sized but is anyone using a model that they have found better than this.
My brief testing with qwen shows that glm is better at tool calling and better at world knowledge, but maybe there’s a chance my qwen set up is wrong
