Hello,

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I wanted to share an idea.
I recently discovered a great open-source coding model called zai-org/GLM-4.6, which seems to compete with top coding models like Claude Sonnet 4.5.

Would it be possible to consider a partnership with the developers of this model to integrate it into GitHub Copilot?
Alternatively, could GitHub host it on your own servers to make it available with unlimited usage, similar to GPT-5 Mini?

Thanks in advance for your time and all your work!

Thanks so much for sharing this idea! We really appreciate the time you took to research and suggest potential collaborations. I’ll make sure to forward this to the team that evaluates integrations and partnerships with external models.

While I can’t make any promises about future support or hosting, it’s always exciting to see innovative open-source projects like zai-org/GLM-4.6, and feedback like yours helps guide potential directions for GitHub Copilot.

Thanks again for reaching out and for your enthusiasm for improving the coding experience!

Best regards,
