it works pretty well for a quite complex compiler codebase when I do deep enough up front planning for features/fixes

Helped: Deep up-front planning for features and fixes.
Got in the way: GLM-5.2 is too expensive at API pricing.
I use GLM-5.2 as an orchestrator model which delegates to Deepseek subagents (v4 flash or pro depending on complexity) and it works pretty well for a quite complex compiler codebase when I do deep enough up front planning for features/fixes. If you believe the benchmarks Deepseek v4 is pretty shitty at long running work in large codebases, but really really good at self contained algorithmic/math reasoning - which is basically ideal for a compiler for a language with a relatively complex type system. …
