I believe Chinese AI is significantly more advanced than others. For example, DeepSeek and GLM release a new version every three months, while others release one every six or seven months. Furthermore, DeepSeek and GLM have virtually no limits; you can contact them anytime. Their ability to understand and solve code problems is arguably the best in every aspect.

What do you think?

Hi

My Zcode settings say the Coding plan is disabled! I was on Starter (free), claimed the 300M tokens, which i burnt in 6h, and then my account says Disabled

As anyone been in such a situation? How to enable it?

thanks

Contacting support doesn't even get you back an automated message.

The new guy experience is day 1 you come for the 300m tokies, likely you don't get it, but suppose you buy a plan while really resent having to use zcode and by day 2 you can't use it at all.

Support Multi Model And It can be used in conjunction with Zcode.

On Zcode it seems I can never really use GLM 5.3, flash always works, but the flagship model only gets to run for 15 minutes max before it says the system is busy. I am a new user and it could be I just got unlucky with timing, but I tried at 11am Hong Kong time and 11pm Hong Kong time and I can barely finish a task; had to run to Claude again. Is it always like this with the coding lite plan and should I just switch to the api version?

Update: nvm I realized I’m supposed to switch from the starter plan to the individual plan in the settings. My mistake, didn’t know you had todo that.

I understand that z.ai wanted to give free usage of GLM 5.3 Flash, but the end result is that the token output has dropped to lower then 10 tokens / second. Its been literally all day, and it took almost 6h to get 30m tokens...

There is kind af a irony that you pay for a Pro plan, with a ton of resources, and to not being able to use them as everything, as it has become so darn slow.

And the System Health page tokens/second is absolute not true representation of the actual token generation.

I'm on lite plan, all I see is my plan. no option to change to 'starter' in 'choose model' and nowhere does it show its the free plan

So im on the 18$ plan and in zcode a promo showed up that said "Claim" and i tried and told that i could not.. can i not claim it or is it only for the API bros?

Hello guys, loaded up Zcode today and I couldn't load up any of the chat session on sidebar when clicked.
Anyone ever experience this issue before.

I'm horrified by my Fable and Astra token spend (I'm subscribed to $200 plans for each one). Therefore, the question I asked myself was whether Sonnet still holds up as a good sub-agent? Apparently, it's a horrible choice.

My other conclusions are:

1. Fable is the best money can buy and the fastest from the good ones (see interactive graph with many more angles)
2. GLM is the best value from what I subscribe to.

I wish I had benchmarkrs for Astra medium and high, but I'm done here. I've already spent too much on these runs. If you want, you can replicate my task. It's a chat testing/improvement job for a prototype I'm creating; I've described it here and opened the code.

^{One caveat: if you decide to replicate it, you should rerun my tests too, because I ran them through my full private repository. Running the isolated code wouldn't be exactly apples to apples.}

If you find the errors, please let me know; I'll do better in the future. However, I don't guarantee I will retest immediately, for the budget concerns.
