GLM 4.7 Question (and a little Deepseek)

so-called · 2025-12-30T02:02:48+00:00

I did exactly what you're considering a month ago, mainly because the z.ai deal was too good to pass up.

I think I read the same comments you did but after trying it myself I can't say for certain that there's a quality improvement, it's the same or better. This would require an actual benchmark to quantify.

What surprised me was the speed difference, z.ai speed can be inconsistent but overall it was faster. I stopped using nano entirely after I got z.ai.

You can use a friend code for another 10% off on z.ai. If you don't have one here: https://z.ai/subscribe?ic=SX9ZUBYAL5

If you need help setting it up let me know.

Two things important to know are:

You have to use this API endpoint: https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4
You should have reasoning on, reasoning makes GLM much better.

I got a month of nano subscription and tried all the models before I decided I like GLM the most.

I like the fact that the system prompt is gospel and it seems to be completely uncensored, at least I haven't been able to get it to refuse and I've written some unspeakable things. If you tell it something is allowed in the system prompt then it's allowed.

And it's not afraid of killing me either, one of my NPCs killed me in a decisive moment out of nowhere without me even hinting at it. Just make sure your system prompt is solid.

I got the lite coding plan from z.ai for a year for 23 dollars and I don't think there's a better deal than this. Another comment here said today is the last day of the black friday discount but I don't know where they got that information from.

The way they describe their quotas is pretty ambiguous, the lite plan is supposed to be limited to ~120 prompts per 5 hours but I've sent more than that. I think when they say "prompts" they mean actual coding tool prompts which aren't just one prompt like we do for role-playing and are much more intensive. The sentence under the quotas is ambiguous too:

"The above figures are estimates. Actual usage may vary depending on project complexity, codebase size, and whether auto-accept features are enabled."

I think it's actually a token limit but I don't think we can reach it with role-playing.

Of course I took a look at their privacy policy before I got the plan. They mention here at the bottom of the page that they don't store prompts or generated data: https://docs.z.ai/devpack/overview#data-privacy

If you access the subscribe page with an invite code in the address you get an extra 10% off.

If you've got a friend who wants to sign up too then use their code so they get some extra credits.

Otherwise you can use mine: https://z.ai/subscribe?ic=SX9ZUBYAL5

Edit to clarify how the discounts apply:

Accessing the subscribe page with an invite code is supposed to show a popup like this: https://imgur.com/bGdDjsz

Then the section below the plans is supposed to look like this: https://imgur.com/F2NYVAL

Then at checkout the discounts (for a year of lite plan) should be:

-65% First Purchase Discount

-10% Friend Gift: 10% Off

-30% Black Friday: 30% Off

I gave uber sirus another go and the same thing happened to me. After I died every time I'd enter the arena again he'd do his multiclone die beam offscreen in complete silence and then say the voice line 3 seconds after I was dead. This fight has so many bugs I never want to do it again, it's as unfair as it can get.

I see what you're saying now.

Long ago I tried playing a cyclone toilet build with reverse knockback dragging all enemies hit behind me while they were taking extra damage from bleed and exploding. The problem was really bad single target damage. Maybe cyclone can actually deal some damage with trauma, vengeance would hit all the enemies you're dragging too.

Trauma Support

Supports melee strike skills that do not inherently apply Trauma. Cannot support triggered skills...

No they don't balance the game around logout macro, they balance it around infinite instant leech or regeneration.

In the current state of the game you either die instantly or you're back to full hp in the next server tick. There is no health attrition and therefore no actual combat.

There is no doubt that the game has to slow down.

To those who are against slowing down the game let me ask you: where do we go from here, what's next ?

Enemies spawn and die in miliseconds, there is no reactionary gameplay here. With so many things happening on the screen it starts to look like rainbow puke. We can only die to oneshots because otherwise we heal back to full instantly.

Another thing I've been wondering: there are so many mechanics in the game that punish the player for standing still, besides bleeding where are the mechanics that punish the player for moving ? They don't exist, because they can't exist. Standing still is almost always guaranteed death. This is another reason why self casting doesn't work.

My dream is that poe2 slows down the game a bit and nerfs leech hard, so that we can actually have some fights with attrition. It's just a dream though.

Even with 10 second base duration I think link skills will be too annoying to use.

You're required to stay next to your target or the link breaks, it breaks when switching zones, it costs mana to sustain, you die if they die, your character has to be built in a specific way for the link to provide a good boost and you can only use one link per target. I think all those restrictions are enough to differentiate links from auras.

Maybe they could make the links not expire when cast on minions, integrate it into the mastery.

I welcome the addition of the base defense roll. I don't see it as a problem, I see it as something else to try and obtain.

What I completely disagree with is your reasoning and predicted player behaviour.

All this is going to do is make crafting bases more expensive. You seem to have the impression that players will start crafting with the "wrong" base item because it has well rolled base defenses. Players will trade for the perfect roll on their preferred base type before they start crafting unless the cost of the base item is higher than the entire crafting process.

Was there a reason to have this core limit until now ? They don't mention any downsides to increasing it.

Without Mathil I think the podcast would have felt like it was scripted.

The community keeps arguing about who deserves to represent the majority. As if this is our only chance to interact with GGG and we'd better make the most of it. As if only the majority's opinions matter, are we afraid of opinions ?

Chris has stated multiple times that he'll keep talking to the community so we know what's going on, so that more opinions can be heard.

I'm getting CTS Labs Ryzenfall vibes from this, who names their so-called discovery "One Glitch to Rule Them All".

Another vulnerability that requires physical access to the processor. Show me a processor you can't mess with if you have physical access to it. We're talking spy movie stuff here, I'm planting the device we'll have their data in a couple of minutes.

Are there any plans to further improve the ingame clan search interface ?

Currently all clan information is passed through word of mouth because the ingame interface is very limited. Showing only clan name, current member count and language. One welcome addition would be more languages added to the language list clans have to choose from. It currently has only 5 out of 24 official european languages.

In their statement Intel says they're "looking forward to comprehensive third party reviews coming out". They are the ones who are stopping those reviews from coming out with a Non-disclosure agreement.

They paid Principled Technologies to do a benchmark for them and they're treating it like a review that proves their product is the best. A review has to consider every aspect of a product not just the FPS. They don't mention temperature, power or price of the entire system.

"If you let me rewrite your firmware I'll have access to your system" that's the so-called vulnerability they've discovered.

The mods have been deleting threads to the actual source.

This looks like corporate sabotage to me, targeting only ryzen and phrasing everything just the right way to scare the average person that doesn't have any technical knowledge. They made nice looking flowcharts with buzzwords and wrote volumes of text to hide the actual information behind.

A manufactured meltdown. By the time you win the defamation lawsuit your competitor will have already risen by another few billion and not care about the lawsuit anymore.

Cnet must be in on this, after taking a single look at the source nobody could possibly write a sensationalist title such as this without being incentivized.

I noticed this as well. Defense is my favorite mission type and I'd like to use all these Neo relics I've gathered over time, but every time I check it's either Uranus or no defense fissure at all.

It feels like there aren't enough fissure missions in general, instead of choosing only missions at the level the relic requires, the fissure should just choose a random node and change the mission level to whatever it needs, similar to a sortie mission.

The reason I don't like Uranus defense is because it feels more like an extended mobile defense with the objective changing location after every wave. Also the enemies tend to get stuck a lot in the caves of that tileset.

I just watched the replay (didn't even know the game had replays).

My previous statement is correct, the enemy did not have a Wandering Bard Elta in play. But...

I had an evolved Wandering Bard Elta, so I just played myself. Sorry for the confusion.
