There is a well-known CLI tool for JSON processing called jq.
I have just asked GLM-4.7 for the name of jq's built function to convert a string to lowercase. It is called ascii_downcase() according to the manual:
However GLM-4.7 insists that is called ascii_down().
I tried to correct it and gave the exact version number, but still, after a long internal monologue, This is its final world:
"In standard jq version 1.7, the function is named ascii_down, not ascii_downcase.
If you are receiving an error that ascii_down is not defined, please verify your version with jq --version. It is possible you are using a different binary (like gojq) or a version older than 1."
GLM-5 gives me the correct answer, ascii_downcase, but I can get this in the Chat Window. Via the API I get HTTP Status 429 - too many requests.
Seems that I cannot use GLM-5 via the API yet, because I am on the Coding-Lite Plan, the most basic paid tier.
I have also realized that I get faster and correct answer to the ascii_downcase question (even from GLM-4.7) when I submit to open.bigmodel.cn endpoint rather than the z.ai API endpoints (using the same API key). I get a mix of Chinese and Western characters in error responses from open.bigmodel.cn though, while the z.ai endpoint does only contain Western Characters.
(Just assuming that both websites are operated by the same company).
From their email titled ”GLM-5 and New Z.ai Chat Coming!”
> Availability Note: GLM-5 is currently available exclusively on Max and Pro Coding Plan users. We are working to scale our infrastructure and will roll this out to Lite users as soon as capacity permits.
