What model do you recommend for brainstorming creative pursuits? As an adult with a “Serious Job™”, it’s hard for me to find anyone that has an interest in being creative. I find LLMs to give me enough feedback to help me flesh my ideas out.
For writing in English, GLM 4.5 is pretty good, open weights, and free or very cheap (free if you want just a chat interface, go to z.ai; cheap if you want API access, I’d recommend OpenRouter). It’s imo the best non-closed source LLM for writing in English. DeepSeek can be good for that too, but I’ve found that it can sometimes produce sentences that flow a lot worse (you can use DeepSeek for free via their website as a chat interface). For other creative pursuits, I’m not sure - if you give me an idea of what you’d want out of one, I can try to give you advice.

idk I just use my brain for that kind of stuff. I use AI only for knowledge hunting.

GLM is great. I liked 4 a lot, and 4.5 hasn’t been a disappointment.
