Are you using GLM-4.7? I've just spent a fortune on Opus, and I heard GLM was close -- but after integrating it into cursor, it seems to spin forever, loose tool use, and generates partial? plans. I did look into using it with the claude cli tool, so it could be cursor specific -- but I havent had the best experience despite going for the pro plan with them. Any advise on how you're using GLM effectively? If at all

At the moment Opus is the only model i can trust even when it generates "refactoring work", it can do the refactoring.

I’m on the Lite plan. For coding, I still prefer Claude because the models are simply better. I mainly use CLI tools like Claude Code and OpenCode.

I’m also managing a few projects and teams. One way I’m getting value from my GLM subscription is by building a daily GitHub PR summary bot using a GitHub Action. It’s good enough for me to keep up with the team and to monitor higher-risk PRs.

Right now I’m using GLM more as an agent/API rather than as a coding tool. Claude works best for agentic coding for me.

I’m on Claude $20 plan and I usually start with Haiku, then I switch to Sonnet or Opus for harder or longer tasks.

Claude Code with GLM seems ok to me, I just it use it as a backup LLM if in case I hit usage limits but for some light refactoring it did the job well.

Are you also facing issues with Claude Code and GLM?
