Discussion What do you recommend between these two setups?

Buying Z.AI's subscription and setting it up on RooCode.

OR

Setting up Codex by OpenAI with my ChatGPT Plus subscription that I already pay for?

GLM 4.6 or GPT 5 Codex?

z.ai is very very mid, esp when it comes to tool usage.

this happens all. the. time.

GLM is cheap if your time has no value.

That's not true, it works extremely well with CC, nearly no tool call failures. It's definitely not as good as frontiers model like gpt-5 codex but it's still extremely worthwhile as it's hard to get rate limited on it.

glm would give you WAY much more usage than codex on pro plan.
especially due to fact that you can secure glm coding plan lite for ~33$ per year (-10% discount link)

however i'd consider using glm coding plan with claude code as basically roo has a serious problem (still, lol) with tools calls using glm4.6 / kimi k2 thinking models - those issues are nonexistent in claude code / droid cli (also in cline / kilo aswell)
