| > The big kicker for GLM for me is I can use it in Pi, or whatever harness I like. Yes, but... isn't the same true for Opus and all the other models too? |

| Opus is about 7 times more expensive than GLM with API pricing. And since you can only use the Opus subscription plan in CC, you're essentially locked into API pricing for Pi and any other harness. So you're either paying $1000's for Opus in Pi, or $30/month for GLM in Pi. If the results are mostly equivalent that's an easy choice for most of us. |

| ▲ | tasuki 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Perhaps I'm being extremely daft: If the API is 7 times more expensive, then why is it $1000 vs $30? Or is there a GLM subscription one can use with Pi? Certainly not available in my (arguably outdated) Pi. | | |
| ▲ | RussianCow 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I'm not the OP, but it's the latter. I'm currently using the "Lite" GLM subscription with OpenCode, for example. I'm not using it very heavily, but I haven't come close to hitting the limits, whereas I burned through my weekly limits with Claude very regularly. | |
