GLM 4.5 + claude code is definitely a winning combo for me
How do you make the setup? Which provider gives you Anthropic compatible endpoint with GLM ?
Just register a subscription [1] with z.ai (company behind the GLM models), get an API key [2], and then put something like this in your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc, etc:
2. https://z.ai/manage-apikey/apikey-list
alias zcc='ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic" ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your z.ai api key" claude --model GLM-4.6'
2. https://z.ai/manage-apikey/apikey-list
GLM 4.5 for me one of the best coding model when running with agents such as Claude Code and Opencode (excluding Claude and GPT-5).
Looking forward to try GLM 4.6.
But Z AI should do like KIMI¹ and launch a verifier to see how GLM models behave on 3rd party providers.

Very respectable. If Sonnet 4.5 was delayed by a day, GLM 4.6 would have been the obvious best choice for agentic coding... up there with gpt-codex.
The z.ai monthly plan looks like a steal if you're working on personal hobby projects instead of paying the $200/mo price for Claude Code.

Do you mean people bought committed plans the moment the new Anthropic models dropped yesterday? TBH I think it’s wise with LLM coding agents to try everything, and avoid sticking to one solution until the space matures.

It would be great if people that are using GLM-4.6 within Claude Code could chime in with their experience in using it. I'm a MAX subscriber and having extra cheap tokens would be very helpful.
The most used opensource agentic coding model, Qwen 3 Coder, is completely missing from all the comparisons. That's what everyone who uses these models wants to compare it with. A missed opportunity.
You need to update your pricing page, still saying GLM-4.5 only
A few days I got their quarterly promo plan ($9 USD), so I'm excited to try 4.6.
