I used it for a personal project in Java and it was ok: it was crazy fast and it reached the correct result, but the code quality was barely passable.

I also used it for a an app for my Garmin watch, and it wasn't good. The code was compiling, but functionality was totally broken and even with a lot of steering it wasn't able to make it work. GLM 5.3-flash instead was up for it and the code wasn't bad at all. I am curious to see if 3.8 is an improvement in this use case.
