-GLM is a **model family** (not a company) available through the Z.AI platform. In Moltbot, GLM
-models are accessed via the `zai` provider and model IDs like `zai/glm-4.7`.
+GLM is a **model family** developed by Zhipu AI. GLM models are available through two platforms:

 ## Notes
 
-- GLM versions and availability can change; check Z.AI's docs for the latest.
-- Example model IDs include `glm-4.7` and `glm-4.6`.
-- For provider details, see [/providers/zai](/providers/zai).
+- Model IDs follow the pattern `{provider}/glm-{version}` (e.g., `zai/glm-4.7`, `zhipu/glm-4.7`)

-Z.AI is the API platform for **GLM** models. It provides REST APIs for GLM and uses API keys
-for authentication. Create your API key in the Z.AI console. Moltbot uses the `zai` provider
-with a Z.AI API key.
+Z.AI and Zhipu AI provide access to **GLM** models. There are four provider configurations
+depending on your region and subscription type.
 
-## CLI setup
+## Provider Variants
+
+| Provider | Region | Plan Type | Base URL |
+|----------|--------|-----------|----------|
+| `zai` | International | Pay-as-you-go | api.z.ai |
+| `zai-coding` | International | Coding Plan | api.z.ai (coding endpoint) |
+| `zhipu` | China | Pay-as-you-go | bigmodel.cn |
+| `zhipu-coding` | China | Coding Plan | bigmodel.cn (coding endpoint) |
+
+## Which should I use?
+
+- **International users with pay-as-you-go**: Use `zai`
+- **International users with Coding Plan subscription ($3-15/mo)**: Use `zai-coding`
+- **China mainland users with pay-as-you-go**: Use `zhipu`
+- **China mainland users with Coding Plan**: Use `zhipu-coding`
+
+The Coding Plan endpoints are optimized for coding tools and have better tool-calling
+performance. They use subscription-based billing rather than per-token billing.
+

+
+# International (Coding Plan)

+
+# China (Coding Plan)
+moltbot onboard --non-interactive --auth-choice zhipu-coding-api-key --zhipu-coding-api-key "$ZHIPU_API_KEY"
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Provider | Primary Env Var | Fallback Chain |
+|----------|-----------------|----------------|
+| `zai` | `ZAI_API_KEY` | `Z_AI_API_KEY` |
+| `zai-coding` | `ZAI_CODING_API_KEY` | `ZAI_API_KEY` → `Z_AI_API_KEY` |
+| `zhipu` | `ZHIPU_API_KEY` | (none) |
+| `zhipu-coding` | `ZHIPU_CODING_API_KEY` | `ZHIPU_API_KEY` |
+
+The coding providers fall back to their respective general provider's env var, so you can
+use a single API key for both if desired.

+## Important Notes
+
+- **Same API key, different endpoints**: Your API key works on both general and coding
+  endpoints, but the billing is different. Using a Coding Plan key on the general
+  endpoint may return error 1113 ("Insufficient balance").
+
+- **Regional keys are not interchangeable**: Keys from z.ai don't work on bigmodel.cn
+  and vice versa. Create your key on the platform for your region.
+
+- **Coding endpoint optimized for tools**: The coding endpoints have better
+  tool-calling performance and are recommended for use with coding assistants.
+
+- **GLM models**: Models are available as `{provider}/glm-4.7`, `{provider}/glm-4.6`, etc.
+  See [/providers/glm](/providers/glm) for the model family overview.
+
+- **Authentication**: All variants use Bearer token auth with your API key.
