Consider Z.ai if you need "bulk" usage, GLM is now very good. They still have the occasional API brown out however.

I used to use GLM mostly and had a Claude Pro subscription for occasional review and clean up.

Now I just use GLM.

I do think Claude Max is value for money. But it's more value than I personally need and I like Anthropic less and less.

Naive question but are you not afraid z.ai will train on your personal data?

FAANG already did this all the time isn't it? Regardless of their policy. US is no better than China from my point of view. In this case, I see no difference between sending my prompts to US or China companies. At least China models are open source.

		I guess it depends if you are working on something important to national security. Especially corporate codebases, etc.

I accept that all the providers will do what I would consider unethical with my data and simply don't expose what I don't consider a price of doing the business I want.

The other criticism I see is "ask it what happened in 1989" but as a my use case isn't writing a high school history essay I simply don't care. Or believe one should seek those kind of answers from any AI. (If you're curious it simply cuts off the reply).

I fully appreciate that YMMV and what sits right for others will not align with what's acceptable to me. Anthropic and OpenAI both are in my badbooks as much as Z.ai. pick your poison as they say.
