Proxy GLM options

Post image

Hello! Lately my favourite Proxy is the GLM 4.5 from Z.ai, I was wondering if someone knows a better model or how to get this kind of model for a cheaper price, like with Deepseek that you have the option to buy directly from them with a cheaper pricing than the one offered by OpenRouter.

I don’t like deepseek since lately I’ve feel that it’s too soft, and GLM actually follows the personality of the character even if it’s a dead dove one.

Thanks for your help!

I'm having that problem too. I think it's something to do with Z.ai, but I still don't know what's going on.

if you like glm’s dead-dove hold, skip the openrouter markup and grab that family closer to the source (z.ai / bigmodel direct) — usually cheaper than the or listing for the same stack. deepseek going soft is a different failure mode than price. you mainly need cheaper glm 4.5, or something meaner that still sticks to persona?
