Looks quite pretty! Not sure if I want to try that instead of OpenCode, maybe. OpenCode also has a desktop app, I will admit that I like their TUI one better (and honestly more than Claude Code TUI) but whole the desktop version is kinda more basic, it's nice enough: https://opencode.ai/download

That said, it's interesting that they're releasing a bunch of stuff: ZCode, OCR.z.ai, Image.z.ai, Audio.z.ai, AutoClaw and some other stuff that https://chat.z.ai/ links to. That's a lot of stuff for one org to pull off.

Figured I'd try out their Pro coding plan, seems like it doesn't necessarily give me that much quota than Opus (at least given how many tokens are needed for accomplishing a certain task), but GLM 5.2 in of itself seems like a beefier Sonnet model, pretty good.



Their tui is quite heavy and crashing quite often as compared to claude code.


Have not used claude code but have used opencode tui a LOT and it does seem to crash quite a bit. Not like it breaks every session but enough that I have come to expect it but still not bothered enough to change. I don't like switching setups mostly


Which are you talking about? OpenCode or ZCode?


OpenCode


I would agree I cannot bear to use the TUI and I find myself in the terminal quite often. The value is good on the $10 plan so I still get decent usage on the desktop client but I would prefer a better terminal interface.


You can use the opencode subscription plan with other agents if you wish. They allow it


I have used it in gh copilot to some success, before the pricing changes. Thanks for the reminder.
