The author, a heavy token consumer, compares the new Agent Plan with existing Coding Plans, highlighting its multi‑modal model suite, unified AFP billing, detailed pricing tiers, step‑by‑step configuration for Claude Code and SoloEnt, and the creation of an OctaFuse resource pool for unified access.
Volcengine’s Coding Plan bundles six leading Chinese AI coding models into a single subscription, offering seamless IDE integration, auto model selection, and performance comparable to individual APIs while cutting monthly costs from hundreds of yuan to under ten, as demonstrated by benchmark tests and a four‑step setup guide.
Anthropic now forces Claude users to complete a five‑minute identity check with a government‑issued photo ID and live selfie, sparking backlash, while the cheaper Chinese GLM Coding Plan—priced far below overseas subscriptions—has foreign developers scrambling to buy it, highlighting stark market and pricing contrasts.
The author integrates the newly released GLM‑4.7 model into Claude Code, runs three real‑world coding scenarios—including a React dashboard, a FastAPI authentication service, and a refined landing page—and finds that its stability, reasoning, and output quality closely match Claude Sonnet 4.5, positioning GLM‑4.7 as a strong open‑source alternative.
