- for content creation, provide clear audience and structure requirements to make the output more aligned with needs.
- when handling multiple tasks in parallel, pay attention to the progress of long-term tasks, and if necessary, break large tasks into smaller steps to advance gradually.
- when wanting to understand the differences between GLM models of different tiers, switch models to compare answers to the same question to help determine which tier is sufficient and avoid paying for unused capabilities.
- 3D modeling and mini-games are more for creative trial and testing purposes.
- for official projects, please use professional tools.
