Hassan El Mghari's chess match: GLM 5.3 won in 29 moves, Jev played each move in about 0.3 seconds for under a hundredth of a cent against GLM's 5.8 seconds and 0.8 cents, and the whole game cost 24 cents. His takeaway is the hybrid pattern he had already used for fraud detection.
Jev vs GLM 5.3 at chess!
Results:
◾ GLM 5.3 won by checkmate in 29 moves
◾ Jev: ~0.3s and <$0.0001 per move
◾ GLM 5.3: ~5.8s and ~$0.008 per move
◾ The whole game cost 24 cents
My main takeaway is that it's often useful to use each one to their strengths:
◾ Fast, well-defined classification → specialized models like Jev
◾ Classifications that need reasoning or lookahead → LLMs like GLM 5.3
◾ Real classification pipelines → hybrid. Jev handles the easy calls, an open model handles the hard ones.
The future is multi-model!
