  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Configuration Details">
    * **Provider**: Select **Z.ai-plan**
    * **Model**: `GLM-4.7-plan`
    * **API Key**: Enter your **Z.AI API Key**

    <Warning>
      You may see both **Z.ai** and **Z.ai-plan** providers.\
      If you subscribed to the **GLM Coding Plan**, select **Z.ai-plan** to use the Coding Plan quota.\
      Selecting **Z.ai** will route to the general API and charges standard pricing from your balance.

## Step 3: Get Started with TRAE + GLM

* Ask for help with tasks such as feature implementation, code generation, refactoring, and debugging.
* Use inline suggestions and agentic actions to accelerate your workflow.

## FAQ

### Using Z.ai vs Z.ai-plan

* **Z.ai-plan**: For GLM Coding Plan subscribers. Routes via Coding API with plan quota. Use model `GLM-4.7`.
* **Z.ai**: For general API usage with standard pricing and balance deduction. Use models like `GLM-4.7`.

### Connection Fails When Adding Model

* Verify your **Z.AI API Key** is correct and active.
* Confirm your subscription status for the **GLM Coding Plan** if using **Z.ai-plan**.
* Check network connectivity and try again. If errors persist, review the error message shown in the **Add Model** dialog.
