Z.AI Coding Plan — OpenCode agent-to-model mapping

Z.AI Coding Plan — OpenCode Agent Mapping

Quota Cost per Model

Peak hours: 14:00–18:00 UTC+8. Off-peak: all other times. Monthly quota is equivalent to ~15–30× the subscription fee, converted at API pricing rates.

Model Quota (Peak: 14:00-18:00 UTC+8) Quota (Off-Peak) Temporary (thru June)
GLM-5.1 1× off-peak
GLM-5-Turbo 1× off-peak
GLM-4.7
GLM-4.5-Air

Agent → Model Mapping

Principle: use the flagship model (GLM-5.1) where reasoning quality directly impacts output, and the 1× models (GLM-4.7, GLM-4.5-Air) for routine or lightweight work to conserve quota.

Agent Model Rationale Quota
build GLM-5.1 Primary agent — flagship for complex coding tasks 2-3×
plan GLM-5.1 Deepest reasoning needed for planning complex changes 2-3×
general GLM-4.7 Subagent multi-step tasks — strong coding/reasoning at 1×
explore GLM-4.7 Code exploration — good understanding, 1× quota
compaction GLM-5.1 Critical for context quality — needs best reasoning 2-3×
title GLM-4.5-Air Simple task, lightweight sufficient
summary GLM-4.5-Air Simple task, lightweight sufficient

Thinking Mode

  • Enabled (default) on build, plan, general, explore, compaction — these chain multiple tool calls and benefit from interleaved reasoning between steps.
  • Disabled on title and summary — trivial tasks that don't need reasoning, disabling saves quota and latency.
