#2I stopped when I got to this sentence and realized the article is written by one of the companies mentioned.
> GLM-4.5 and GLM-4.5-Air are our latest flagship models
Maybe it is great, but with a conflict of interest so obvious I can't exactly take their word for it.

I would be interested to know where the claim of the “killer combination” comes from. I would also like to know who the people behind Z.ai are — I haven’t heard of them before. Their plans seem crazy cheap compared to Anthropic, especially if their models actually perform better than Opus.

#4Okay, I'm going to try it, but why didn't you link the information on how to integrate it with Claude Code: https://docs.z.ai/scenario-example/develop-tools/claude
Chinese software always has such a design language:
- prepaid and then use credit to subscribe
- strange serif font
- that slider thing for captcha
But I'm going to try it out now.

Z.AI is the company that created GLM and the link goes to their official documentation. It’s really weird to complain that their official documentation on their official website has a “conflict of interest”.

#6Been using that for a while, first Chinese model that works REALLY well!
Also fascinating how they solved the issue that Claude expects a 200+k token model while GLM 4.5 has 128k.

To be clear, Z.ai are the people who built GLM 4.5, so they're talking up their own product.
But to be fair, GLM 4.5 and GLM 4.5 Air are genuinely good coding models. GLM 4.5 Air costs about 10% of what Claude Sonnet does (when hosted on DeepInfra, at least), and it can perform simple coding tasks quite quickly. I haven't tested GLM 4.5 Air, but it seems to be popular as well.
If you can easily afford all the Claude Code tokens you want, then you'll probably get better results from Sonnet. But if you already know enough programming to work around any issues that arise, the GLM models are quite usable.
But you can't easily run GLM 4.5 Air quickly without professional workstation- or server-grade hardware (RTX 6000 Pro 96GB would be nice), at least not without a serious speed hit.
Still, it's a very interesting sign for the future of open coding models.

When it comes to "real-world development scenarios" they claim to be closer to Sonnet 4.
This is the data for that claim: https://huggingface.co/datasets/zai-org/CC-Bench-trajectorie...
Re: GLM 4.5 with Claude Code
#9I wonder how you justify this editorialized title, and if HN mods share your justification. The linked article has no the word "killer" in it.
I think this is why many people have concerns about AI. This group can't express neutral ideas. They have to hype about a simple official documentation page.

Actually Z.ai is a spinoff of Tsinghua University and one of the first China labs open sourcing its own large models (GLM released in 2021) .
