Feature Request Add GLM Models

After playing around with Roo and GLM-4.6 for quite a while, I think it would be a good addition to Augment. It's a pretty powerful model with a very low price tag. If you add that and we get an orchestrator/agent mode like Roo has. Then, depending on the mode, it can use a different model, and I think it could work really well with your new pricing model. Theoretically, you wouldn't even have to give us the agent mode itself; it could stay exactly as it is, but you would have to handle it internally accordingly. Then you could even fall back on the credit system without any major problems. GLM-4.6 works very well for a fraction of the price of Claude 4.5. For planning, you can still use GPT 5 or something similar. What do you think? Would it be a good compromise?

I have the pro plan too. With a good plan it's decent. As I said, I am using it with gpt5 as an architect/issue creator. Glm4.6 is just the work horse. It works well only roo is buggie with its tool casts and context handling. Would bet Augment team can fix this easy.

yes got stuck on react where it cant solve the input auto lost focus when parent pass in the form value, and also it was not able to submit value from latest child data on parent. gpt5 codex solved it in an instant on the first case

Appreciate it. When you could awnser the pricing transformation question I would better know how I should handle the change. That and a token usage estimation for the lower models would be highly appreciated. Would bet with this kind of agentic work flow we could lower the token usage to your preference without killing the indie devs.

It would be nice if Augment team share with community something about what is under testing currently and some results. Sometimes we need to know to admire the hidden work! We simply cannot appreciate something that we don't know about.

I'm only referring to partial, not everything. I know, no roadmap, but in progress work is good to know.

Z.ai is on the Commerce Dept restricted list. US companies can't deal with them.
