Z.ai subscription with opencode

Now Z.ai has an official solution to use the package. See below.

Create a custom provider

First we need to create a custom provider for the Z.ai anthropic API. Follow the instructions for adding a custom provider to opencode.

• Name it zai-anthropic
• Enter your API-key

Configure the custom-provider

Edit opencode.json and add this:

    "provider": {
        "zai-anthropic": {
            "npm": "@ai-sdk/anthropic",
            "options": {
                "baseURL": "https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic/v1"
            },
            "models": {
                "glm-4.5": {
                    "name": "glm-4.5"
                }
            }
        }

Make this model default if you wish:

    "model": "zai-anthropic/glm-4.5",

Official solution from Z.ai

Now there is the official solution to support opencode and others. I switched and it works perfectly. Great job Z.ai.

  }

@olafgeibig today I reached the limit of 190 requests and 9000000 tokens. And I have -0.08 cents on my account. So the counting system is a little different than I thought. In three days I have 1333 requests 73 million tokens

@olafgeibig today I reached the limit of 190 requests and 9000000 tokens. And I have -0.08 cents on my account. So the counting system is a little different than I thought. In three days I have 1333 requests 73 million tokens

are you working on anything and using so many tokens / requests or are you just trying to see the limit of the service?

@konstantinosbotonakis creating projects. Calculating just for myself to see which plan suits me best for my tasks. For example, Rovo Dev CLI give 20 million per day without restrictions on requests to choose from two models Sonnet 4 and GPT5. Price 7.53 usd. I also use it to see who can handle which tasks and how.

@nathabonfim59 nice, but what is your use case for the air model? Faster sub-agents?

Mostly /compact and I have an agent to fetch parts of the documentation and feed back to the main one.

@iFedyna thank you. That is valuable information to judge the plan. So the 190 requests and 9000000 tokens were consumed within a 5 hour window, I guess. Really a great offer.

@nathabonfim59 Good idea. Is compact significantly faster then?
