I signed up to a z.ai max account, $144. Hardly been able to use it as it 429s on most requests. They’re also refusing to refund me.

- sergiotapia 3mo agoMy experience as well unfortunately :(
- osti 3mo agoEven as a GLM z.ai fan, I wouldn't pay for their plans. They are just way worse values than gpt or anthropic plans, in terms of both usage and capabilities.
- guybedo 3mo agosame here. Barely usable due to API connections issues. And when i can use it, it just drains the quota 5 times faster than codex or claude. Their plan is a scam

- reissbaker 3mo agoSelf-promo but you should try our service synthetic.new. We generally have up-to-date open-source LLMs on the sub, and we have GLM-5.2 :) Perf+stability should be wayyy better than zai.
- dotancohen 3mo agoWhat do you do differently that you expect to have better performance than an experienced, established player?
- mtlynch 3mo agoNot GP, but just being smaller makes it easier to achieve reliability. Like if you're a git forge with 100 similar customers, you can likely achieve an order of magnitude better reliability than GitHub, who is trying to serve millions of customers with wildly different needs.
- dotancohen 3mo agoThe problems for services such as GitHub with scaling are reducing cost per customer. That's even more pertinent when discussing inference at scale.
- mtlynch 3mo ago> The problems for services such as GitHub with scaling are reducing cost per customer. That's even more pertinent when discussing inference at scale. I don't think that's true. When I look at GitHub's incident history,[0] it doesn't read to me like a company that's struggling to cut costs. It looks like a company that's trying to do a million things to serve a million use cases, and the growing interconnections between all those distinct services and workflows cause unexpected failures.
