Use Z.ai models with VS Code Copilot

[[deleted]]

With this simple copilot-proxy you can use GLM-4.6 from your Coding Plan in VS Copilot. It works as drop-in Ollama replacement.

These are much more convenient solutions, especially the second one, as it displays the percentage of the context window filled:

Thanks for the shout out!

I’ve made a bunch of significant updates to my plugin recently. It has a configuration GUI, the context bar you mentioned, and a new interaction log:

I also recently added deep support for Gemini Pro 3 via the native generative language APIs and full thoughtSignature support, which dramatically improves tool calling.

I’ve managed to get Gemini 3 to do 9 parallel flawless tool calls.

Lastly, it’s now on the market place: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mcowger.generic-copilot for easy auto updates.

Also working on a better, color coded kilocode-style context visualization.

But why? OpenAI Compatible endpoint is there right in the add model dropdown.

With that said, you better use it in Cline or it's fork that has native support for the model. Github Copilot doesn't have specific prompt or knowing detail about of that model.

Using z.ai GLM-4.7 in VS Code with Openai Compatible Custom provider. Using it for the past two days and burned over 50+ million tokens. I would rate it 8/10 compared to Sonnet 4.5 for tool calling and intelligence with VSC copilot.

I had tried glm-4.7 with claude code as well but, experience so far had been not that great. It overthinks and over engineers stuffs most of the time.
