Just last week, ZCode rolled out an exciting giveaway: Ending August 24! Zhipu ZCode Is Giving Away 100M Free GLM-5.3 Tokens on a First-Come, First-Served Basis. Now, ZCode is back with a fresh weekend quota campaign, dropping 300 million free tokens directly to users. The best part? The barrier to entry is virtually zero—new users, existing users, and even active Coding Plan subscribers are all eligible.

The star of this campaign is GLM-5.3-Flash, the first native multimodal model in Zhipu's GLM-5 lineup.

Key Event Details

  • Free Quota: 300 Million Tokens (300,000,000 Tokens)
  • Applicable Model: GLM-5.3-Flash
  • Event Window: Valid from Friday 20:00 to the following Monday 09:00 (Beijing Time / UTC+8)
  • Claim Window: Available in the desktop client starting Friday at 15:00
  • Validity: Any unused quota expires automatically when the event ends; non-extendable and non-redeemable for cash.

According to the official announcement, this quota is open to all logged-in users—all you need to do is update your ZCode client to version 3.10 or higher. Users with existing Coding Plan subscriptions can also participate without affecting their current plan benefits.

Once claimed, simply switch to the "Trial Plan" under Model Settings to start putting those 300M tokens to work.

How Good Is GLM-5.3-Flash?

Positioned as a native multimodal foundation model, GLM-5.3-Flash supports image, video, and document understanding, featuring a native 1-million-token context window. Officially, its intelligence benchmark matches Claude Opus 4.8 while costing roughly 1/40th the price. Within ZCode, you can also pair it with capabilities like Browser Use and Computer Use, allowing the model to interact directly with your browser or operating system—making it exceptionally practical.

For developers and power users who regularly write code, analyze dense documentation, or process multimodal content, 300 million tokens is a massive allowance—it is practically impossible to burn through over a single weekend.

How to Claim

  1. Update your ZCode client to the latest release (version 3.10 or above).
  2. Log in to your account (open to new, existing, and Coding Plan users alike).
  3. Starting Friday at 15:00, locate the promotional card in the bottom-left corner of the client and click Claim.
  4. After claiming successfully, navigate to Model Settings and switch to the Trial Plan to start prompting.

Many users reported that the claiming process was lightning-fast and seamless right after updating—I grabbed mine without a hitch.

Quick Tips

  • The quota is time-limited and expires at 9:00 AM on Monday, so make the most of it over the weekend.
  • Even if you don't have an immediate use case, it doesn't hurt to claim it now since it won't consume your existing subscription resources.
  • If you encounter network glitches during the event, retry or ensure your client is updated to the latest build.

This weekend promotion is quite generous, especially for anyone looking to test out a top-tier multimodal model at zero cost. If you use ZCode, update your app and grab your 300M tokens—don't leave free compute on the table.

Check the ZCode client to get started. Have a great weekend and put those tokens to good use!
