How to use GLM-5 in Droid CLI (Factory Droid)

Factory Droid supports custom models via Bring Your Own Key, we easily configure it to use GLM-5 as well.

You can use GLM-5 (GLM Coding Plan) with Droid pretty easily.

Step 0: Install Droid CLI

Install the droid cli

If not done already, you install it like this:

Configure GLM models

Our configs will be at ~/.factory/settings.json

Antr

{
  "customModels": [
    {
      "displayName": "GLM-5 [Z.AI Coding Plan]",
      "model": "glm-5",
      "baseUrl": "https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic",
      "apiKey": "your_zai_api_key",
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "maxOutputTokens": 131072
    }
  ]
}

Simlarly you can also use the OpenAI’s chat-completion like this

{
  "customModels": [
    {
      "displayName": "GLM-5 [Z.AI Coding Plan]",
      "model": "glm-5",
      "baseUrl": "https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4",
      "apiKey": "your_zai_api_key",
      "provider": "generic-chat-completion-api",
      "maxOutputTokens": 131072
    }
  ]
}
