After comparison, Ollama Cloud’s tokens/s is 40% higher than the Max plan on https://t.co/77Gy4q0tbu, and its first-token latency is significantly lower—streaming output responds almost instantly.
Having tried various service plans, I still believe Ollama Cloud is the best choice for using GLM-5.2: high throughput, low latency, and generous quota. https://t.co/B3pcD6Oqsw
AstroHan (@AstroHanRay): If you’re using GLM-5.2, Ollama Cloud Pro is the best option I’ve personally tested — plenty of tokens for the price. At $20, it’s basically more than enough for non-concurrent heavy use.
The overseas plan on https://t.co/77Gy4q0tbu at the same price is simply not competitive, plus it has triple consumption during Beijing time 14:00–18:00, which hurts efficiency.
Also, GLM-5.2 is a great model!

@MiaAI_lab: GLM-5.2 is the best Chinese open model yet. The output screams quality — I can really feel the difference. The problem …
GLM-5.2 is praised as the best Chinese open model yet for output quality, but note its high token consumption. The user hopes to run it on 3 DGX Sparks.
@midudev: Don't use Ollama if you want to use local AI with good performance. It doesn't fully utilize your GPU. Better use vLLM:…
A tweet recommends using vLLM instead of Ollama for local AI, citing better GPU utilization, higher efficiency, and up to 2x faster performance in tests. vLLM is a fast, open-source library for LLM inference and serving that supports many models and hardware backends.
@Honcia13: Ollama is getting wiped out! This little 5MB thing called Shimmy is really something! A Rust-written local AI inference powerhouse that absolutely crushes Ollama: -Single file only 5MB (Ollama is completely outgunned) -Startup time <100ms -Memory only 50MB -Perfect...
Shimmy is a local AI inference server written in Rust, only 5MB as a single file, perfectly compatible with OpenAI API, startup speed less than 100ms, memory usage only 50MB, can be used as a lightweight alternative to Ollama.

This article analyzes the reasons behind the performance leap of Zhipu GLM-5.2, suggesting that its 40B activation parameters provide greater effective capacity after accounting for fixed overhead, making RL post-training more effective. It also reviews the history of Chinese AI model development and notes that the large model approach ultimately prevailed.
