### AI overview

The article describes how a small team prepared an open-weight agentic development setup for AI productivity experiments. It explains the team's model-selection criteria, distinguishes open-weight models from locally run models, and reports choosing GLM-5.2 after comparing DeepSeek V4, Kimi K-2.6, and other models using benchmarks and practical trials.

### Source excerpt

Setting yourself up to try out open-weight models for agentic development isn't difficult, but it isn't as straightforward as downloading a coding agent from one of the handful of well-known AI vendors. In preparation for the latest round of our AI productivity experiments, we've recently been through this process. Read on for the choices we made, the considerations at play, and what made our situation unusual.
