Consider using z.ai as model provider to further lower your costs.




Do you mean with the coding plan?

I haven't tested it extensively but I found that when I used Claude Code with it, it was reasonably fast (but actual Claude was way faster), but when I tried to use the API itself manually, it would be super slow.

My guess would be think they're filtering the traffic and prioritizing certain types. On my own script, I ran into a rate limit after 7 requests!


Do they or any other providers offer any improvements on the often-chronicled variability of quality/effort from the major two services e.g. during peak hours?

This is what i was going to suggest too.

Or minimax - m2.1 release didn't make a big splash in the news, but it's really capable.

Will take a look!
