Does ZCode work with Standard Compute?

Yes. ZCode supports a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL, so it works with Standard Compute. Set the base URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, paste your API key, and set the model to "standardcompute".

What base URL do I use for ZCode?

Use https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 as the OpenAI-compatible base URL in ZCode, with your Standard Compute API key and the model "standardcompute".

Do I need to change my code or model names?

No code changes. The model "standardcompute" routes each request to a frontier or an efficient model, so you don't pick or update model names; an exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.

Use Standard Compute with ZCode

Z.ai's open-source coding agent as a desktop app, web UI and TUI, built for GLM but open to any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible provider. Paste three settings into ZCode: the base URL, your Standard Compute API key and the model.

ZCode saves providers to ~/.zcode/v2/config.json, where a provider's options only recognize connection settings: apiKey, baseURL, apiKeyRequired and headers.

Connect ZCode

Eligible new accounts can try $0.25 of compute, with no card. See trial terms →

Your connection settings

Copy these values, then put them where ZCode expects them (steps below).

Base URL

https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1

API Key

Your Standard Compute key

Model

standardcompute

Where to set them in ZCode

Open Settings → Model Providers and click Add Provider at the bottom of the provider list.
Name it Standard Compute, set the OpenAI endpoint to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 and enter your Standard Compute API key.
Click Add Model, enter standardcompute (or an exact ID such as anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5), turn on the enable switch and pick the model in the selector.

What changes in ZCode

Billing: ZCode requests draw on one monthly compute budget, with plans from $19 a month. There is no per-token bill. When the budget is used, requests stop until renewal or an upgrade, unless you turn on pay as you go.
Models: The model standardcompute picks a frontier or an efficient model for each request. An exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.
Good to know: ZCode is free and open source (Apache 2.0). Its native route is a Z.ai account with a daily trial quota and the GLM Coding Plan; a custom provider bills through that provider.
