Exactly! I don't understand comments claiming GLM-4.7 is very bad.
With New Year's promotional discount, I got Lite coding version for ~3$ per month. I have burned couple dozen million of tokens in a session and 5h allowance barely budged. For what I do on personal time - I will never burn through it[0].
I have Claude Code Opus 4.6 at work - yes GLM-4.7 is not as good, though for personal work on bootstraping some applications - it's excellent.
I feel like it's literally 6-9 months behind SOTA, most expensive LLM tools that my employer was buying for me and my colleagues, for 3$ per month (even if it's 10$ without discount). Will see how it's with GLM-5 when Z.AI lite coding plan will get it, but I feel the gap to SOTA is narrowing and fast.
[0] Though I feel like a stone age neanderthal, when people say they run multiple agents in parallel and burn tens of millions of tokens in minutes.
It is for sure not as good but the generous limits mean that for a price I can afford I can use it all day and that is game changer for me.
I can't use this model yet as they are slowly rolling it out but I'm excited to try it.
