GLM-5.1 has reached #3 on Code Arena, surpassing Gemini 3.1 and GPT-5.4, and matching Claude Sonnet 4.6 in coding performance. Z.ai now holds the #1 open model rank close to the top overall. The advisor pattern, combining a cheap executor with an expensive advisor, is gaining traction, improving performance and efficiency in models like Haiku + Opus and Sonnet + Opus. Alibaba's Qwen Code v0.14.x introduces orchestration features including remote control channels, cron tasks, and sub-agent model selection. Model routing is becoming a product-level concern due to specialization and spikiness in top models such as Opus and GPT-5.4. The Hermes Agent ecosystem shows strong momentum with a new workspace mobile app, FAST mode for OpenAI/GPT-5.4, and over 50k GitHub stars. Practitioners report Hermes as a reliable agent framework, with local Qwen3-Coder-Next 80B 4-bit replacing parts of workflows previously reliant on Claude Code. The harness layer is emerging as a key abstraction in agent frameworks.
