Coding Plans

Many model providers — including Aliyun/Qwen, MiniMax, Kimi, ByteDance/Ark, z.ai, and more — offer affordable, generous coding plans with large monthly API quotas optimized for AI coding tools. Because these plans expose standard Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Ante works with them out of the box. The examples below use z.ai DevPack; other coding plans follow the same pattern.

Anthropic-compatible​

Use the anthropic provider with MODEL_BASE_URL pointing to the plan's endpoint.

Example: z.ai DevPack

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your_z_ai_key"
export MODEL_BASE_URL="https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic"

ante --provider anthropic --model glm-5-turbo -p "refactor the auth module"

OpenAI-compatible​

Use the openai-compatible provider with MODEL_BASE_URL pointing to the plan's endpoint.

Example: z.ai DevPack

export OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_KEY="your_z_ai_key"
export MODEL_BASE_URL="https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4"

ante --provider openai-compatible --model glm-5-turbo -p "add unit tests for the cache layer"
