Sakana Fugu is an intelligent router that secretly orchestrates a pool of frontier models behind one API, while GLM 5.2 is an open workhorse from China at a sixth of the cost. I run them against Opus 4.8 on tool calling, building a one page website, and improving the Hermes operating system. The results genuinely surprised me, especially how GLM 5.2 held up. I also walk through the exact model routing strategy I'm using going forward. *Core Software* 🤖 Hermes Agent 🐟 Sakana Fugu 🧠 GLM 5.2 ☁️ Claude: https://claude.ai/ 🐳 DeepSeek: https://www.deepseek.com/ 🔌 Zapier MCP 🔥 Glaido: https://bit.ly/4eGoI3R ⌚️ Stamps: 00:00 - Two Models Killed Fable? 00:36 - The Game Of Thrones Problem 01:48 - How Sakana Fugu Works 03:01 - GLM 5.2 The Open Workhorse 03:48 - Connecting Sakana To Hermes 04:46 - Testing Sakana Out 05:40 - Connecting GLM 5.2 06:30 - Checking GLM Works 07:15 - Test One Tool Calling 09:07 - Tool Calling Results 10:05 - Test Two One Page Website 11:01 - Comparing The Websites 13:53 - Test Three Hardest Yet 15:16 - The Build Results 16:09 - Fugu Is Not A Fable Killer 17:02 - The Routing Strategy I Use 18:33 - Why GLM 5.2 Impressed Me I tested Sakana Fugu and GLM 5.2 against Claude Opus 4.8 inside the Hermes agent to see which model is actually best for tool calling, building websites and coding, plus how to connect them with Open Router and Zapier MCP. #HermesAgent #GLM52 #SakanaFugu #ClaudeOpus #AIAgents #AIModels
