GLM inference service is slow and has strict usage limits
Problem
Users of GLM via z.ai experience slow response times and strict usage caps, preventing continuous or large‑scale inference workloads.
Pain points
- Slow inference response time
- Usage quota limits preventing prolonged operation
Questions to verify
- What is the current average latency of GLM's inference responses?
- What are the specific limits of the usage quota, and can they be increased?
- How strong is user demand for alternative inference platforms?

If only this infrastructure could handle all the traffic. I've tried using glm via z.ai - and it's a snail kind of slow.And at the same time you have pretty strict limits to your usage, so in many cases you can't even let it work all night, as you will reach your limit faster than that.
