GLM 5 (Lite Coding Plan) + Skills + Pi : This $3 Setup BEATS Claude Code & Codex!!!

Visit OnDemand: https://app.on-demand.io/auth/signup?refCode=AICODEKING_MI1 In this video, I'll be sharing my first impressions of Pony Alpha 2, a new model from Z AI that appears to be fine-tuned for OpenClaw. I compare it with GLM 5 in coding and agentic workflows, talk about its speed, long-context retention, and writing quality, and explain why it feels like a better fit for day-to-day OpenClaw usage. -- Resources: GLM-5 Coding Plan (affiliate link - not sponsored): https://z.ai/subscribe?ic=NWKPDIY9WD -- Key Takeaways: 🚀 Pony Alpha 2 feels extremely fast compared to GLM 5 and responds almost instantly in many workflows. 🧠 The model seems better optimized for agentic tasks, tool calling, and instruction following inside OpenClaw. 💻 While it is decent at coding, it does not seem to outperform GLM 5 on coding-heavy prompts. 🛠️ Pony Alpha 2 works especially well with Skills, such as presentation workflows and web crawling tasks. 📚 Long-context retention appears stronger, with better history handling and smarter tool reuse when needed. ✍️ Writing quality also seems slightly improved, especially for research-oriented workflows. 🌍 If it launches with open weights and good pricing, it could become a very interesting model for everyday AI agents.
