For the last week, I've been heavily immersed reverse engineering a device with help of GLM-5.3 and it surpassed all my expectations - I actually managed to achieve very way more than I thought I would. I never worked on such low level stuff, it would have taken me months to learn ARM assembly and how to find for and write exploits. Initially, I attempted this with Claude, but it blocked me on the very first message, so I got a refund and decided to try z.ai. The only downsides are that it's maybe a bit slower than my day job Opus and I had to pay ~200 EUR for a monthly plan in order not to bump into weekly limits in a couple of days. If this level of capability cost maybe 50 EUR, I'd strongly consider getting a long time subscription.

GLM 5.2 and 5.3 are exceptional at reverse engineering. you just point them at an IDA Pro MCP and off they go doing whatever you want from them.

> The only downsides are

The catch's in their revolting terms of service.
