👋 New here? Start with this. Every week inside AIS+, a bunch of us hop on a live call we call CCC — Chill, Chat & Chaos. No agenda. No slides. No guru talking at you. Just builders — total beginners and seasoned pros side by side — thinking out loud about AI and automation. What's working, what broke, what we're figuring out in real time. People show up with a question and leave with a plan. Some weeks it gets deeply technical, some weeks it's just honest talk about building a business with this stuff. It's messy on purpose — and that's exactly why it works. Here's a taste of what you missed at the last one 👇 🔥 This week's Chill, Chat & Chaos 🔥 💸 I'll own this one — a mistake I made last year quietly cost me around $3,000. The kind nobody warns you about until it's too late. We walked through exactly how to make sure it never happens to you. 🤖 One builder runs a small army of AI agents overnight, goes to sleep, and wakes up to a finished project. Yes, really. We got into how that actually works. 🛌 Someone shared how they now get their heaviest work done on their hardest days by letting AI carry the load — the kind of thing that quietly changes a life. Easily the most moving moment of the night. 🕵️ Why asking AI to "check its own work" is a trap — and the one small change that actually catches the bugs it hides from you. 🧾 How one member taught AI to read a stack of messy handwritten receipts like it was decoding the Rosetta Stone. 💳 And the idea that split the room clean in half: should you ever lend a stranger your unused AI credits? The reason nobody could agree is the interesting part. Oh — and the honest line of the night: "we're all posers." 😅 Not one person in that room pretends to have it all figured out. That's exactly why it works. 💬 More than one member has told me that a single one of these calls is worth the entire monthly subscription. I didn't say it — they did. If you're out here on the free side, this is what's happening every Saturday on the inside. The tools, the exact how-tos, the resource guide, and the recording all live in AIS+ 🔒. Consider this the trailer.

I switched Claude Code over to GLM 5.2 and ran it all day. It's a 756 billion parameter open source model you can route straight into the Claude Code harness for about five times cheaper than Opus, and for most of my knowledge work it held up fine. In this one I show you what it can build, where it beats Opus and where it doesn't, and exactly how to set it up so you can switch between models per project. Here's the config I use. Drop this into your .claude/settings.local.json and swap in your own Z.ai key: "env": { "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic", "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-z-ai-api-key-here", "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "", "API_TIMEOUT_MS": "3000000", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "glm-5.2", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "glm-5.2", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "glm-5.2", "ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL": "glm-5.2", "CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL": "glm-5.2" }
