A nice deal, Grok $30 for three months

I used to most recommend chatgpt plus, but the other day chatgpt banned my codex. Logging into codex again requires SMS two-factor authentication. Since it was a number from a code-receiving platform, openai does not support self-service phone number rebinding, so the main account is basically dead. I switched to try out supergrok, and the composer it provides…

opencode go subscription launches glm5.2, genuine glm5.2!

The second screenshot is enough to prove it’s genuine, the familiar 1302 flavor. Stable to use on 6.18, speed is quite good, maybe the supplier no longer uses z.ai. In practice, it’s stronger than deepseekv4pro in coding, script error rate dropped a lot. Of course, the price is also many times higher. Among domestic models, only deepseek is recommended, hoping it soon…

Huawei token plan is quite expensive

Not cheap, especially the way token consumption is counted—both input and output are counted within the plan. I often use 20 million tokens in a single request, and the 59 yuan tier only covers about 3 of my requests. For coding, roughly 99% of input is input cache, and billing cache hits at full price is pretty absurd. If they want people to actually use it, they shouldn’t count input—only count output toward the quota,…

Tencent's model is much better than I expected, recommended to try

My main use case is writing code, and my projects are mainly command-line tools. Tencent HY3 Preview performs very well in my use case, with good instruction following and dialectical logic. I also tried Baidu’s CoBuddy coding model recently launched on openrouter, and it’s terrible—just two simple uses reveal its poor capability, with only 131k context…

Zhipu's terrible service is unmatched

This is the third time I’ve been fooled by Zhipu. They said they were retaining old users by giving unlimited weekly quota, so I came back to give it another try, and got tricked again. It has no weekly limit, but it’s completely unusable when I need it. It only comes back to life right when I start and finish work, which is like meeting at the peak. In February I said Zhipu lite had single concurrency, and Zhipu used its business certificate to report me to xhs…

Ten Times the Price, Six Times the Usage

On Claude’s side, max 5x costs five times the pro price with five times the usage, and max 20x costs ten times the price with 20 times the usage. On OpenAI’s side, pro is six times plus, and review is ten times, making the cost-performance hard to judge. Of course it also has the privilege of prioritized request processing, and I’m not sure how much faster it can be. I use chat for daily conversations, with extend thinking on, and it feels like an average of about five minutes per question. Plus has a weekly limit of 3000 conversations, which is far from being used up. The codex cli weekly quota is heavily enough for two days (without fast mode on), so you only need to prepare two or three plus accounts to meet weekly needs. If you’re impatient and turn on fast mode, having four accounts ready is also enough.

Thanks to OpenAI the Great Benefactor

At peak I subscribed to several plans at the same time, but couldn’t use them all up, wasting at least half of the few hundred bucks every month. OpenAI recently opened codex cli to free users with a certain free weekly quota. Those familiar with codex know its quota is very different from claudecode’s, and is extremely durable. I myself have 6 accounts connected behind a cli proxy, and using only the free tier already basically meets my needs. Some share that free accounts may have model quantization and reduced intelligence; I also have an account in an enterprise team, and later I’ll carefully test whether free GPT-5.3-codex differs from the paid one.

Zhipu Refund Now Available, Refund Window Closes on 3.6

The refund window will open within one week after the holiday, and close on March 6, 2026. At that time, go to the My Plans page and click Cancel and Refund to complete it with one click. Note that the refund window period ends on 3.6. Programmer friends, recall your experience using Zhipu in the past two months, trust your own feelings, and make a rational decision.

Zhipu Plan Concurrency Too Low

Many people say the lite plan has low concurrency, but they may not have made clear exactly how low it is. Let me explain it more clearly. Only one concurrency. This means in tools with a subagent mechanism, lite simply cannot run. I have been buying various AI products for four or five years, and Zhipu’s plan is the biggest rip-off I have encountered; it is almost unusable for coding. Now it can only be used for single-thread…

Notes on using OpenRouter's free models

After recharging $10 on OpenRouter, you get 1000 free model calls per day, which is more than enough for me to use for validation. But for a long time, many of its models kept returning 429 errors, such as openai/gpt-oss-120b:free. Today I manually tested various methods and finally confirmed…

Review of Qwen App

The Qwen app uses four-direction swipe gestures. On the left are chat history and agents, and on the right is the agent marketplace. When the swipe trajectory on the screen is not straight up and down, but rather like a left-falling stroke (丿) or right-falling stroke, the side content will be triggered. To return to the chat interface, you don’t swipe the screen, but perform a back gesture, sliding in from the screen edge to return. If the directions get mixed up, the app will freeze. The Qwen app…

Review of Doubao's App

Inconvenient to start a new conversation; after starting one, only a popup notification appears while the old messages remain in place. Even after switching topics, the previous answer is still visible, giving a feeling that the context hasn’t switched—which is uncommon among AI chat apps. However, Doubao’s lower barrier to entry does help it grow its user base.
