I'm in the same boat. Sonnet was overkill for me, and GLM is cheap and smart enough to spit out boilerplate and FFMPEG commands whenever it's asked.

$20/month is a bit of an insane ask when the most valuable thing Anthropic makes is the free Claude Code CLI.

I've recently switched to OpenCode and found it to be far better. Plus GML 4.7 is free at the moment, so for now it's a great no-cost setup.

I don't know, I max out my Opus limits regularly. I guess it depends on usage.

Do you even need an subscription to any service for that? Is a free tier not enough?

Are you using an API proxy to route GLM into the Claude Code CLI? Or do you mean side-by-side usage? Not sure if custom endpoints are supported natively yet.

This works: $ZAI_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=xxx $ZAI_ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=xxx

  alias "claude-zai"="ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=$ZAI_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=$ZAI_ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN claude"

Then you can run `claude`, hit your limit, exit the session and `claude-zai -c` to continue (with context reset, of course).

Someone gave me that command a while back.

thats pretty much what I do, I have a bash alias to launch either the normal claude code, or the glm one

I much prefer OpenCode these days, give it a try.

I did, I couldnt get used to it and didn't get so good results. I think Claude Code's tools are really top notch, and maybe the system prompt
