What are your experiences? Mine, kilocode, just some quick tests: - GLM 5 "Turbo" is quite slow, Mistral 4 Small is super fast - Mistral seems to be 10x cheaper for actual answers - GLM 5 has a weird mix of high intelligence and being dumb that irritates me, whereas this Mistral model feels roughly on a Qwen3.5 level, answers with short answers and to the point M4S managed to correct itself when i asked about obsolete scripts in a repo: Told me "those 4x are obsolete
