I've been using Z.Ai coding plan for last few months, generally very pleasant experience. I think with GLM-4.6 they had some issues which this corrects.

Overall solid offering, they have MCP you plug into ClaudeCode or OpenCode and it just works.

I'm surprised by this; I have it also and was running through OpenCode but I gave up and moved back to Claude Code. I was not able to get it to generate any useful code for me.

How did you manage to use it? I am wondering if maybe I was using it incorrectly, or needed to include different context to get something useful out of it.

i'm in the same boat as you. i really wanted to like OpenCode but it doesn't seem to work properly for me. i keep going back to CC.

I've been using it for the last couple months. In many cases, it was superior to Gemini 3 Pro. One thing about Claude Code, it delegates certain tasks to glm-4.5 air and that drops performance a ton. What I did is set the default models to 4.6 (now 4.7)

Be careful this makes you run through your quota very fast (as smaller models have much higher quotas).

    ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL=glm-4.7
    ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL=glm-4.7
    ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL=glm-4.7
    ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL=glm-4.7
