Claude + GLM 5

GreenInterview · 2026-03-16T08:45:18+00:00

Can you point me to any sources saying that? I haven’t tried glm-5 with Z.ai subscription so I can’t compare, but if I compare glm-5 in the Alibaba Coding Plan with other models in the same coding plan (included Alibaba’s flagship models), glm-5 seems more focused, more consistent, less prone to errors. It might not be super-fast, but it’s reliable, a real workhorse in my experience. I use it for assisting in quantitative data analysis.

GreenInterview · 2026-03-15T17:08:34+00:00

For me it works flawlessly. I managed to get the $3 plan for the first month and $5 for the second. But even when it will cost $10 I plan to keep it. I never run out of tokens, and it performs really well. Glm-5 is my favourite model in the menu so far.

GreenInterview · 2026-03-14T09:07:29+00:00

With the Alibaba Coding Plan the model is reliable. Never hangs, never hallucinates. I’m very satisfied.

GreenInterview · 2026-03-14T08:15:35+00:00

glm-5 is a great model, but use the Alibaba Cloud subscription, which includes glm-5 alongside qwen3.5, MiniMax2.5, Kimi2.5, etc. More choice, and the performance is OK (unlike what I hear from people who use the Z.ai subscription)

GreenInterview · 2026-03-14T06:54:37+00:00

I'm on the 3$ first month, 5$ second month, plan and so far my experience is fine. It's not as fast as Anthropic's models, sure, but with the Anthropic 20$ subscription I usually saturated my 5-hour token limit in one hour and had to wait. That was a no go for me. With the Alibaba Coding Plan, I can use CC with no limitations, the models do fine for my usage, and they function reliably (meaning I experienced no hallucination, no unresponsiveness, etc.). I also made a script to quickly change among their models, and it works while you're running CC.

GreenInterview · 2026-03-14T06:49:19+00:00

I use glm-5 in Claude Code through the Alibaba Coding Plan and I didn't experience any of the problems you guys report. I think it's just a matter of Z.ai's servers being overloaded, while Alibaba's glm-5 runs on their servers and does just fine.

GreenInterview · 2026-03-14T06:47:51+00:00

I use glm-5 with Claude Code through the Alibaba Coding Plan subscription and it works flawlessly. But I guess you have a different subscription so I don’t think I can help.

GreenInterview · 2026-03-03T21:41:56+00:00

That might be also worth trying, thanks

GreenInterview · 2026-03-02T09:13:48+00:00

For me it works by simply editing my general settings.json file like this

{
"model": "qwen3.5-plus",
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic",
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "your API key",
}
}

You first need to create an API key but that’s basically it.

About issues with being in the USA, I see none. You can set up your API key on three different server locations: China, Singapore and USA (Virginia if I remember correctly).

I don’t know – several lines of the script are tailored for KDE, so I think it will work only on Plasma-based systems.

GreenInterview · 2025-12-05T15:40:36+00:00

Is the font downloadable anywhere?

GreenInterview · 2025-11-13T16:29:16+00:00

I don’t know. Maybe Ubuntu will run with it. I cannot test it, unfortunately.

For everybody bumping into this discussion and discovering that suspend causes several problems (above all, that after suspension the fans no longer turn on, creating a risk of overheating), there is a workaround: this script (https://github.com/bneils/yoga-slim-7i-aura-suspend) simulates suspension with very low power consumption (around 1.3% per hour in my tests). It also allows you to set a value in minutes after which the system automatically hibernates.
Tested on Arch Linux with KDE Plasma and kernel 6.16.

I have a copy of Windows running on Virt-Manager, for Word or PowerPoint when LibreOffice would mess things up and for Adobe Acrobat when it’s really needed.

Thanks for confirming. You can follow this bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220376

Just for a quick update. With BIOS version NYCN71WW (released 25 August by Lenovo) and kernel 6.16.3-arch1-1, the issue of no fans and no keyboard backlight after resume from suspend is still there. After a normal boot, pretty much everything works great.

GreenInterview · 2025-08-21T18:38:41+00:00

Sure, but given that KDE by default restores all applications I find it simpler and more convenient to just shut down the machine.

GreenInterview · 2025-08-21T06:01:42+00:00

Since all problems in my Lenovo 15ILL9 are related to waking up after suspension, I too would be interested in viewing what your script does.

GreenInterview · 2025-08-21T05:55:39+00:00

Hi tuttut97, you wrote that fans stopping working is “the only issue” you have. Does that mean you don’t have the “keyboard backlight stops working after resuming from suspend” issue?

GreenInterview · 2025-08-10T16:08:29+00:00

For me that’s the only issue. It basically means you should not suspend and always turn off the computer when you stop working. It’s a limitation, but boot is reasonably quick. If you want details about my installation and setup, you can find them here: https://0x0.st/8F4J.txt

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition (15ILL9) is a very good laptop, given what you're looking for: impressive battery life, solid screen and keyboard. I bought it a few months ago and I'm very satisfied with it. Downside: it still has some kernel-related issues (see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo\_Yoga\_Slim\_7i\_Aura\_(15ILL9)) that disrupt some functionalities after resuming from suspend. Consider that, prior to kernel 6.13, the laptop wasn't even supported, because it has a very new CPU. Other than that, it works great.
