Also pricing, I wanted to give a try, but when pricing is only 30% cheaper than Opus, I wouldn't go for it with these issues.
It's pricing is a lot cheaper if you can run it yourself.
What?
It is less than 20% of the cost of Opus at API rates. 1.40/4.40 vs 5/25.
z.ai coding plan is a fairly decent deal at ~$16/mon USD considering it's supposed to have a fair bit more usage than the comparable $20/mon Claude plan. On the other hand, z.ai seems a bit on the slower side for raw model tok/sec throughput.
