• You're referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48751752, which was the third submission of this. The original submission was in fact to https://zcode.z.ai/en, so I took that one and re-upped it in order to have a place to merge the thread. Seemed fairest!

• With Musk buying Cursor, it is good to have more alternatives on the market.

• How about no? I'd rather use something open source and local. We have enough of 3rd party controlled AI tools.

• There are now more and more Harness clients. I hope we can have the best open-source client and the best open-source models, as this would greatly facilitate our work and operations. However, this seems unlikely in the short term.

• Those are some odd hours though, why would evening time be peak hours? Usually (in the western world anyway), 9AM - 12PM would be peak hours.

• Z.ai is based in China and serves out of Singapore, that's surely why.

• wonder why anyone would use this when GLM-5.2 is available in multiple coding harnesses already

• Coding plans are often out of stock, it's miraculous

• Is it possible to use their subscription pricing with Opencode?
  by swe_dima
• I use the coding subscription in both Pi and OpenCode without issue.
  by qaz_plm
• Does it support Azure openai and aws bedrock models as well?

• Is there any desktop coding app that can be used with local LLM?
  by ernsheong
• I built vibn.dev for this purpose, it’s very rough around the edges tho
  by burgerzzz
• OpenCode (TUI and desktop app) can use Qwen local

• I could use them as a provider if they shown concrete price per token. Or concrete number of tokens in each plan. Now I don't know what I would rent from them. If I were to buy hell knows what, I would go to Anthropic.

• Yea not touching this with an any-foot pole. They are just keeping up with the Joneses now. There is no reason for this to exist but there IS a reason it is not open source. ;)

• Funny, I think the same about Claude.
  by scotty79
• Isn't competition and open markets a reason for this to exist?
  by TurdF3rguson
• separation of model and tooling is as important as legislative and judicative, and just ignore any tooling or harness not true open source. they will all slowly creep into your life and choke you trying to lock you in.

• First-party harnesses are great, but i'd really wish this was a CLI and not a GUI
