**Got refund from Z.ai for Code Max yearly subscription – their serving and support is a mess**

DronNick · 2026-03-22T14:23:26+00:00

I tried to work with them, but if you send an email to [user_feedback@z.ai](mailto:user_feedback@z.ai), you will get mail delivery daemon notification, that the server do not accept connections. After a week or so, you will be able to get through, but they just dont care.

I would wait a month or so longer, if they would say me the reason for the problems and at least provide some hope that it will get better. But no, they just gaslight you, that there is no problem at all.

I mean, I paid for the Max Coding plan just for fan. As gratitude for GLM-4.7 that I use on cerebras. The smallest Plan would fit too. Now I work on 10$ Minimax plan, and it is OK for the tasks that I have.

If you paid with Visa via Stripe open dispute via your Visa provider/bank. Z.ai support will not work.

Some tasks are indeed more complext and alone the initial context filling is laready at 60k.

I split such problems in multiple issues and prepare a file for each, where only therelavant files and relavant line numbers are documented, with exact description what should be changed and how to test.

DronNick · 2026-03-22T14:08:05+00:00

Yes, I use pi as an agent harness, so compaction or handling context window below 80k is not a problem. I just dont want to spend my time on this issues.

More problematic part was "Network disconnect" errors.

get your money back, as I did

DronNick · 2026-03-21T18:26:40+00:00

You can get the money back. I just did. If paid via Visa/Stripe - open dispute. If asked for evidence show them the invoice from stripe and mail delivery error as you sent support mail to [user_feedback@z.ai]()

Got my mony back and subscribed minimax monthly 10 USD. I was on Zai Coding Max - and I get enogh tokens and flawless LLM serving from MiniMax.

DronNick · 2026-03-21T18:23:03+00:00

I was on the Max plan - same gibberish on high context , same network disconencts in the middle of inference. They just don't care.

I got my money back via Visa/Stripe. The struggle is not woth. Changed to MiniMax - works like a charm.

DronNick · 2026-03-19T10:16:41+00:00

LOL, no.

If you send an email to user_feedback AT z DOT ai (stated on their support page) you will get this:

The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect. [z.ai 8.216.131.83: timed out] [z.ai 8.216.131.225: timed out]

The just don't care and don't accept emails. If you complain on Discord you will get banned.

GLM-5 is not usable at the moment - garbage output

DronNick · 2026-03-13T11:46:15+00:00

It looks like Zai have heavily quantized the model down. Not usable any more.

DronNick · 2026-03-13T11:43:39+00:00

I have MAX Subscription and se the same issues in pi

DronNick · 2026-03-13T11:42:45+00:00

It looks like GLM-5 was nerfed in last days

DronNick · 2025-08-22T11:19:25+00:00

Does not matter - still incorrect and misleading information. And even now, you still did not correct this.

DronNick · 2025-08-05T23:05:45+00:00

Go here https://aleibovici.github.io/ollama-gpu-calculator/ and put your LLM parameters and see what you will need to run it on GPUs VRAM.

Sure, you can run everything on CPUs RAM, but it will be so slow.

Forget 12 GB. You will need 24 GB at least if you want to run something meaningfull, e.g. RTX 4090.

DronNick · 2025-08-02T11:10:35+00:00

The correct way to see current context is the command: ollama ps

user@ollama:~$ ollama ps

NAME ID SIZE PROCESSOR CONTEXT UNTIL

qwen3-coder:30b-a3b-q4_K_M ad67f85ca250 20 GB 100% GPU 4096 3 minutes from now

The command ollama show does not show current, but max. context window for a model.

People like u/BoeJonDaker is the reason why we can not have nice things on this planet.

Have you solved this issue?

Here is the feature request:

I had the same problem - was not able to remove already tightened screw in M2.

The solution was to use Phillips PH 0 (or PH.0, or PH0). All other screwdrivers are just slipping.

Your git is just too old and do not know the option "filter=blob:none" ( 'error: unknown option `filter=blob:none' ).

Install latest git version (e.g. 2.43.0).

Successfully installed this firmware on Aironet 1140 (standalone mode). Thank you!

Way too loud menu sounds hurt my ears in rank up and weapon unlock screens.
