FULLY FREE GLM-5.2 + Z-Code: This is ACTUALLY GOOD!
In this video, I'll be telling you about Z Code, the new coding agent from Z AI built for GLM models, and why it is a pretty interesting alternative to tools like OpenAI Codex. I’ll also cover how Z Code works, its free daily token allowance, its interface, missing features, and the benchmark performance of GLM-5.2. -- Key Takeaways: 🚀 Z AI recently launched Z Code, a Codex-like coding agent built specifically for GLM models. 💸 Z Code has a free tier that gives you 5 million tokens per day with GLM-5.2. 🧠 The interface is very similar to Codex, with tasks, skills, settings, MCP servers, plugins, and usage tracking. 🛠️ Z Code can generate projects, open previews, inspect elements, use DevTools, and connect to remote messaging platforms. ⚠️ Some important features are still missing, like a proper file explorer, changelog view, worktree support, and one-click git initialization. 📊 GLM-5.2 performs very strongly across coding, reasoning, tool-use, and long-horizon agent benchmarks. 🔥 GLM-5.2 is the highest-scoring open-weights model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and comes with an MIT license. 👍 Overall, Z Code offers strong coding ability, generous free usage, and great value for day-to-day AI coding workflows.
