Recently, ZCode, a domestic programming tool developed by Zhipei AI and deeply compatible with the GLM series, announced a major version update. It officially launched four core features: Goal mode, Subagents, Remote Control, and Idle Task. This upgrade marks a key step in the transition of Coding Agent from "programming assistance" to "autonomous delivery." At the same time, it introduced user quota reset and limited-time benefits to further enhance the developer experience.
As the "best partner" of the GLM ecosystem, ZCode is a Coding Harness (coding orchestration framework) optimized for GLM. It is responsible for context management, tool calls, task scheduling, and result verification, directly determining the practical effectiveness of large model capabilities. According to internal benchmark tests released by Zhipei, under the same GLM-5.2 model conditions, tasks paired with ZCode showed a 2.39% higher overall pass rate compared to those paired with Claude Code. The advantage is particularly significant in complex long-term tasks such as cross-file collaboration and full-stack development.
ZCode has also been specifically optimized for context cache reuse in GLM, achieving a cache hit rate of 98.10%, significantly higher than industry tools, which increases the effective token count of GLM by approximately 30%.
The biggest highlight of this upgrade is the breakthrough in "autonomous delivery" capability. The newly introduced Goal mode allows developers to set clear, verifiable goals (e.g., "keep the first screen load time within 2 seconds and ensure all existing tests pass"). ZCode will automatically complete the entire process of task decomposition, code modification, testing, and iterative optimization without requiring real-time developer intervention. Combined with the Subagents feature, users can call built-in general execution agents or read-only exploration agents, or customize their own agents, enabling parallel multi-Agent collaboration and significantly improving the efficiency of full-stack development and complex bug localization.
To meet multi-terminal collaboration needs, ZCode added the Remote Control function, supporting access to desktop workspaces via WeChat, Feishu, and other entry points on mobile devices. Users can view task progress in real time, input instructions, or create new tasks. All code still runs in local/SSH/WSL/Docker environments, ensuring project security. The idle task function was also launched, supporting automatic execution of non-urgent long-duration tasks during low-traffic periods, and does not deduct user credits within the privilege range.
In terms of benefits, in celebration of the user base exceeding one million, ZCode has reset the GLM Coding Plan quotas for all users uniformly at 13:00 today. From now until August 31, 2026, users can enjoy a 1.5x temporary quota boost when using the GLM Coding Plan on ZCode. With the cache optimization effect, the total usage is nearly 1.8 times the regular quota.
Currently, the latest version of ZCode is available for download (https://zcode.z.ai/cn). You can log in and use it immediately without additional configuration. Zhipei stated that it will continue to iterate product functions and help developers efficiently complete complex programming tasks.
