Summary by cubic

Adds an automated setup script and docs to route Claude Code through Z.AI via a local proxy, with optional anonymous token support. This enables GLM-4.5 models in Claude Code with one command.

• New Features

  • Generates ~/.claude-code-router with zai.js transformer and config.js.
  • Starts the local API proxy on 127.0.0.1:8080 and checks readiness.
  • Launches Claude Code preconfigured for GLM-4.5/GLM-4.5-Air (and vision).
  • Anonymous mode: fetches temporary Z.AI tokens; supports AUTH_TOKEN env.
  • Preflight checks and clear errors for Node.js, Claude Code, and server.
  • Supports streaming, tool calls, system prompts, long context, and images.

• Migration

  • Ensure Node.js and Claude Code are installed (npm install -g claude-code).
  • Optional: set AUTH_TOKEN or use anonymous mode by default.
  • Run: python zai_cc.py.

🚀 Major Upgrade: GLM-4.6 + GLM-4.5V Vision Support

I've just pushed significant improvements to this PR!

✨ What's New

1. GLM-4.6 Integration 🏆

• Upgraded from GLM-4.5 to GLM-4.6 (latest flagship model)
• 200K context window (66% increase from 128K)
• Superior coding performance in real-world benchmarks
• Advanced reasoning and tool use capabilities
• Outperforms Claude Sonnet 4 in 74 real-world coding tests

2. GLM-4.5V Vision Model 🖼️

• Added dedicated multimodal vision model for image tasks
• Perfect for UI screenshot analysis
• Can understand diagrams, charts, and design mockups
• Automatically routed for image-related tasks

3. Intelligent Model Routing 🎯

"Router": {
  "default": "GLM,GLM-4.6",         // Latest flagship for general tasks
  "background": "GLM,GLM-4.5-Air",  // Fast & efficient for simple tasks
  "think": "GLM,GLM-4.6",           // Advanced reasoning
  "longContext": "GLM,GLM-4.6",     // 200K context window
  "image": "GLM,GLM-4.5V"           // Vision/multimodal tasks
}

📊 Model Comparison

Model	Context	Best For	Key Feature
GLM-4.6	200K	Coding, Reasoning	Flagship, outperforms Claude Sonnet 4
GLM-4.5-Air	128K	Quick Tasks	Fastest, 30% more efficient
GLM-4.5V	128K	Vision	Image understanding & analysis

// Automatically uses GLM-4.6 (200K context)
"Refactor this large codebase and add comprehensive tests"

For vision tasks:

// Automatically uses GLM-4.5V
"Analyze this UI screenshot and suggest improvements"
"Convert this design mockup to React components"

For quick queries:

// Automatically uses GLM-4.5-Air
"What's the syntax for async/await in Python?"

📚 Documentation Updates

• Added comprehensive model comparison table
• Detailed usage guidelines for each model
• Tips for choosing the right model
• Vision task examples

✅ Testing

Script tested and verified:

• ✅ All models properly configured
• ✅ Router correctly routes to GLM-4.6 by default
• ✅ Vision tasks route to GLM-4.5V
• ✅ Background tasks use efficient GLM-4.5-Air
• ✅ Long context threshold increased to 100K tokens
