GLM Coding Lite

GLM Coding Lite is a coding subscription from Zhipu AI (Z.ai) based on the GLM-4.6 model, with capabilities comparable to Claude Sonnet on coding benchmarks. Compatible with Claude Code, Cline, Roo Code, and other popular IDEs via API in Anthropic mirror format. Through JoinBareng's shared subscription, 4-5 user plans start at Rp 75,000/slot (retail $3-6/month).

Who it's for:
✅ Developers using Claude Code who want a cheaper alternative
✅ Small teams needing a capable coding model without paying for premium Opus
✅ AI hobbyists exploring non-Anthropic/OpenAI models
✅ Cline / Roo Code users needing a stable API backend

Key benefits:
✅ GLM-4.6 model (comparable to Claude Sonnet on SWE-bench)
✅ Compatible with Claude Code, Cline, Roo Code, OpenCode
✅ API endpoint mirrors Anthropic format (plug-and-play)
✅ Generous daily prompt quota in 40+/60+ prompt tiers
✅ A fraction of OpenAI/Anthropic retail pricing

GLM Coding Lite vs Claude Code / OpenAI Codex:
Claude Opus remains superior for very complex tasks, but overkill for daily use. GLM-4.6 hits the sweet spot: Sonnet-equivalent benchmarks at far lower retail prices. Through JoinBareng group-buy, per-slot cost can drop below Rp 100k for quota sufficient for daily developer use.

Access & onboarding:
Once the group forms, JoinBareng admins send the GLM API key. Configure in Claude Code / Cline / Roo Code: change the base URL to the Z.ai endpoint, paste the API key — done. No new tools to install.

Important! Group access via JoinBareng uses Z.ai's official multi-user subscription tier. Per fair-use policy, quota is shared evenly.
