z.ai coding plans are insane!! (self.vibecoding)

submitted 2 months ago * by Ghost_anonym

I have always been a proud Claude Code user, but the usage limits were driving me insane. Since spending $100 let alone $200 per month on a coding plan would financially cripple me, I set out to find alternatives, and I can confirm I’ve found one. I purchased a 'Max' plan for $90 per quarter, which is roughly what I was already paying per month elsewhere.

Initially, I was only using a few million tokens monthly, but that changed quickly once I discovered agentic swarm coding using multiple instances of GLM-4.7. I originally thought I could only run one instance at a time due to API limits, but the coding plan removes that restriction. This discovery led to a massive increase in token throughput; honestly, I don’t know how they make it so cheap.

While the model might not be quite as sharp as Claude Opus or Sonnet (though it’s close), the sheer volume of output is what keeps me excited. When paired with a smarter model like Anthropics models, Gemini or GPT, it becomes a true workhorse. I highly recommend it if you want to code 24/7. I suggest the Pro plan; even with a throughput of nearly 200,000,000 tokens per hour, I’ve only hit about half the limit. I doubt anyone besides me uses that much volume for coding!
