The best frontend coding model you can actually run is now Chinese.


Look at the board. Number one is Claude Fable 5. Read the footnote. It isn't being sampled. You can't run it, price it, or test it. It's a number doing marketing.
Number two is GLM-5.2. Open weight. Chinese lab. Sitting above every shipping version of Claude Opus.
Strip out the model nobody can touch, and the most capable coding model on earth is one you can download for free.
Five Chinese models sit in the top thirteen.
The gap between the best open model and the best one you can buy didn't shrink. It went negative.
The technology being real was never the question.
The question was always what anyone can charge for it.
You don't price scarcity into something the whole world can download for free.
